Epcot's Vice President Brad Rex explains the Flower and Garden Festival is so amazing thanks to the countless hours Disney horticulturists spend planting, irrigating, mulching, weeding, pruning, nurturing and setting the various plants displayed around the theme park. When asking if the audience had ever seen a bigger Goofy, referring the Festival's largest topiary, he reminded the audience that it would be impolite to point to the person standing next to them. He concluded his remarks by highlighting the various new additions that can be found at this year's festival and introduced the Global Product Merchant Garden Centers for Home Depot Bob Jacobson.
