Hi! Im actually a Gardner/Horticulturist at Epcot at this moment and seeing this video and all the ideas that you took from our displays and gardens, how much you enjoyed it, really fills me with happiness and pride, because thats the reason we work so hard to make the park beautiful. We try to be a source of inspiration to any gardner that visit us. But also we try to convey a sense of awe to the non gardner, so they have an experience they will never forget. It really is nonstop work every single day from the Horticulture department, but we do it because is worth it and everyone loves it.

If anybody has any questions, just let me know with the time stamp and i will try to answer!

You do amazing work. That must be a dream job ❤️❤️❤️. Appreciate all of your detailed comments at my random "wonderings" as I talked through some of the displays. It was truly amazing to see in person and I could tell how much love and effort you put into those designs. Appreciate you!

[@annakasikkink7489]

Yes, travel videos are fun, particularly when you call out the design principles that make established gardens effective. Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

I hope to get there some day. I would love to see videos of any gardens that you see on your travels. Good way to get inspiration.

I inadvertently went a few years ago and loved it. I got such gorgeous backgrounds for pix.

Thank you for sharing! I don't know if I will ever get there so it was nice to see. The round trellis is something I would like to do. I saw one where an old trampoline frame was used. So I am on the hunt!

I enjoyed the video. We'll be there a year from now, so I look forward to seeing this. The plant at 9:59 looks like Spanish Moss. It hangs from older trees in the humid parts of the southern US.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Awesome! You will have a blast. And thanks for ID'ing Spanish moss for me... Not something we see up north 😊

I do love the travel video and I always enjoy the EPCOT flower festival. I had an idea for a video series for you. Please consider doing a dog safe garden series. I am trying to research that and for a new gardener it is overwhelming.

[@PrettyPurpleDoor]

Thanks! Good video idea. I do have an article about dog friendly landscaping on my website. There's over 300 articles over there: www.prettypurpledoor.com/dog-friendly-landscaping-tips/

The sheep topiary at 7:40 have spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) as the grassy texture. The archway behind Tiana at 9:10 has spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) hanging down. The display at 11:50 and the ones on both sides of the bridge that goes into the world showcase are only there for the flower and garden festival. At 17:05, the flower towers, most of them have Impatients hawkeri, as well as the floating planters in the water at 11:05.

Thanks 😊
