Disney in Pictures: Mickey Mouse topiary at the Contemporary Resort

Every photo has a story.

The next time you stop by the Contemporary Resort  to grab a Black Forest Cupcake from the Contempo Cafe, walk straight out the back doors and head down the stairs.  This fabulous Mickey Mouse topiary is located just behind the Contemporary Resort, a great work of Disney art you just might normally overlook.

Topiary gardening, where living plants are fashioned into decorative forms, has been practiced for centuries.  Throughout Walt Disney World, topiary can be found in shapes ranging from trees pruned in geometric designs to the classic Disney characters.

Picture this…in Walt Disney World, there are 1,700 species of plants, representing flora from the United States and 50 countries around the world.

If you are a fan of Disney landscaping and the ancient art of topiary gardening, this spring you should head over to The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.  This is a special event filled with Disney character topiaries, a colorful array of flowers, gardens, live music and special presentations.  The next festival will be held from March 7 to May 20, 2012. You’ll definitely want to bring your camera.

Thanks for stopping by for a photographical Disney ride!
