Storytelling With Plants
Plants are not just an afterthought. They're a critical part of the show, according to Eric Darden, current manager of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, Disney's annual horticultural event that attracts 7 million visitors from March through May.
Everyone at Disney realizes the importance of the plants as curators of all-important first impressions. Every Disney garden is unique and designed to complement its setting.
“We don’t just go out and decide what kind of plants and colors we want to use,” says Darden. “Our designers make sure the plants tell a story.”
