One of two all-new Global Gardens for the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is the China Penjing Garden at the China Pavilion. While we covered the other all-new Global Garden earlier today, we’re excited to take a look at the China Penjing Garden in this article.
China Penjing Garden | 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The China Penjing Garden invites guests to discover ancient Chinese art that recreates miniature landscapes. Similar, but different than bonsai, penjing allows artists to expand beyond just a bonsai tree to create a more dynamic scene that might include elements such as rocks, water, or figurines.
The China Penjing Garden can be found in front of the Nine Dragons Restaurant, along the World Showcase Promenade at the China Pavilion. Here’s a look!
