History
The Flower & Garden Festival in 2019
1995
In 1995 the Festival debuted a new miniature train and town display next to the Germany pavilion. Officially named the Epcot Garden Railway, the display showcased flowers amid the train tracks and buildings, and was so popular, it has been in its same location ever since. Props are added during some festivals to correspond with the official festival signage around the World Showcase lagoon.[3]
The 2017 festival introduced a Figment topiary, re-imagined princess topiaries and a re-imagined Cars garden, as well as a new front entrance topiary.[9]
2019
2019 brought the expansion of the popular Garden Rocks concerts to nightly[10] as well as a brand new set of topiaries (Bo Peep and her Sheep) celebrating Toy Story 4.[citation needed]
