What’s Happening:
- Each year at Walt Disney World, Cast Members plant more than 100,000 poinsettias and various other festival plants.
- Horticulturists have tended to a 3.5-acre tree farm behind Disney's Animal Kingdom for more than fifty years, predating the opening of Disney World.
- The process of choosing these iconic holiday plants commences almost a year in advance of the festive season.
- There are more than 100 varieties of poinsettias, making this living decoration a popular choice for ideal locations throughout the theme parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.
- These plants exhibit a spectrum of colors, including traditional reds, vibrant whites, and pink shades.
- Additionally, visitors can admire the impressive 8-foot-tall poinsettia "towers" located in the World Celebration Gardens at EPCOT.
- As the holiday season approaches, a dedicated team of gardeners and arborists work early to plant vibrant poinsettias, enhancing the beauty of parks and resorts for their opening the next day and adding color to events like the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
