The first year 1994, FFGC was invited to exhibit 12 floral designs by our Creative Floral Designers to interpret the work of famous French Artists. The exhibits were placed in individual tents in the gardens of France. The same year our floral designers were invited to present floral design programs for the public. This proved to be a huge success with the public and Disney. The tents proved to be problematic, since they were subject to unpredictable weather, the venue was moved to various indoor locations in World Showcase and Future World over the years and the number of designs were increased according to the location. The Garden Festival Center was opened and became a permanent venue for visitors to interact with garden and horticulture organizations. FFGC is invited to participate, annually, over the Mother’s Day weekend. FFGC hosts the “Mother’s Day Flower Show”. showcase 35 floral designs and provides hostess to interact with the visitors and answer questions. In 2018 the Garden Festival Center was closed for renovations and FFGC moved to another location in 2019 and 2020. Due to lack of space we were not able to present our “Mother’s Day Flower Show”, but 12 of our Creative Floral Designers, each year, have demonstrated floral designs and talked about garden club activities. Over 1200 designs have been created and given out to the public over the past 2 years
