This year, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival has a new addition, and we may be slightly obsessed with it. While it is hard to beat all the delicious food and gorgeous flowers, this new addition is definitely making us smile!
2025 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
The 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival officially kicked off on March 5th and runs through June 2nd. While you enjoy the food and admire the flowers, make sure you keep an eye out for the very special new addition!
We are incredibly excited to introduce the 2025 Flower & Garden TRASH CANS! Yes, we are VERY excited about some new trash cans. Not only are trash cans the unofficial table of EPCOT festivals year-round, but these new Flower & Garden trash cans are absolutely adorable!
Look at how cute!
When we spotted them on the opening day of Flower & Garden, we knew they deserved their very own photo shoot. They are shiny and colorful and feature two of our favorite Flower & Garden mascots: Orange Bird and Spike the Bee.
There is also a Spike the Bee trash can
Each character has their very own trash can, and we think we might be in love. You can spot them for yourself outside the Creations Shop. The trash can is decorated on all three sides. We assume the fourth side is also, but they are currently pushed against a wall, so you can only see three sides.
We are obsessed.
The Orange Bird trash can is covered in LOTS of orange — big surprise, right? The flap is bright yellow, and you can spot lots of oranges and orange blossoms all over the trash can.
So bright and colorful!
The Spike the Bee trash can is bright yellow, featuring pretty flowers and Spike the Bee.
There he is!
Does this mean we will get themed trash cans for all the festivals? As much as we love these new trash cans, can we also throw in our request for more actual tables?

While the food is yummy, there is so much else to discover at the festival! You can admire the beautiful topiaries, check out the Butterfly House, go on a scavenger hunt, jam out at a concert, purchase exclusive merchandise, or stop by CommuniCore Hall to see a special exhibit.
