Lake Buena Vista in Orange County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
Miniature Garden
The petite plants in these containers form vignettes inspired by the nearby Garden Railway.
Look closely, and you will see diminutive cottages built from bits of nature by fantastical woodland creatures.
Inspired by European folklore as far back as the 1600s, these mythical creatures, called gnomes, are said to live in the ground and protect crops, flowers, and treasure.
With luck, you might just catch a glimpse a magical gnome or two who inhabit these tiny dwellings!
Erected by Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.
