Walt Disney World Topiaries
The topiaries of Disney are famous for the skill and detail that goes into each and every one. New additions are being created and used throughout the parks all the time. These additions are being added as new characters and films are created.
All types of plants and flowers are used to create each one, so no two are exactly alike, but there are favorites. Mickey and Minnie are the constant subject of selfies because they are located right in the heart of Magic Kingdom and are of course, the stars of Disney World.
Plaza Rose Garden
Every gardener knows a good rose garden when they see one, and this theme park made the space for a great one right in the heart of its most popular park, Magic Kingdom. There are several species of roses grown here, all in a landscaped plaza that makes it easy to explore. The best part is this garden is a great respite from the crowds because it is often overlooked as a stop between two areas of the park. However, not only is it a garden to marvel at, but it has one of the best views in all of Magic Kingdom.
