Topiary Sculptures - Topiary Sculpture Art

Walt Disney World's topiaries are not, as is obvious to anyone who's visited there lately, extinct. All of the parks display some number of them on a year-round basis and there is an active staff tending to their needs on a regular basis. Nor do they appear to be endangered, as they continue to be celebrated and pushed to new limits at Epcot's annual garden festival. But contrasted with the resort's opening year of 1971, there are now a number of key differences surrounding WDW's exhibition of this millennia-old floral art form.

Widen Your World hereby presents a case for praising the topiary's "golden years."

The first documented occurrence of topiaries date back to the Roman Empire during the rule of Augustus, 2000 years ago. Disney's first topiary work was done for Disneyland in 1963.
