I AM GROOT! Green-House Mix Vol. 1 Groot Topiary for Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival 2024. We are only 2 days from the start of this year’s Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot, and 90% of the topiaries are now installed.
This morning Disney Parks Blog (The Official Disney Account) dropped the information that the Groot topiary had been installed overnight, so we had to rush out and see it for ourselves. We also saw a few other new topiaries for 2024, including Donald, and Goofy.
For the first time, Groot takes root at EPCOT! The flora colossus from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy will appear near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery.

Groot is holding a cassette tape that spins, and every 20 minutes music plays. Below you can see the concept art that Disney released, and then how the actual topiary turned out. We love it and think it turned out perfectly.
Once again, Disney horticulture cast members have created a spectacular array of topiaries featuring myriad Disney characters, seasonal displays, and whimsical items. Debuting this year, Groot takes root in EPCOT!
The “flora colossus” from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy will appear near the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction in World Discovery. In the spirit of season one of the Disney+ “I Am Groot” series, Groot is trying to create his own topiary. Observant guests may spy an homage to the horticulture team on the mix tape that Groot is hoisting in the air.
Furthermore, in other topiary news (Dang, I love my job! I never thought I would write that sentence in my life) Goofy and Donald have new topiaries this year. The characters have always been around for Flower & Garden but this year they have different designs.
Dont forget to join us Wednesday, February 28th, 2024, for opening day. We will bring you as much of the new Wish, Coco, Merchandise, and of course food on our Instagram!
