Case Study: Walt Disney World 16th Annual EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival
Challenge: Needed efficient and elegant way to add flowers to their waterscape
Solution: Added several dozen Floating Treatment Wetlands, custom shaped into circles and stars
Testimonial: “Headwaters Floating Island manufactured two dozen FTEs in the shape of circles and stars for the 16th annual EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Floating Islands were prominently on display at EPCOT in the East and West Lakes along the concourse leading to the World Showcase. The horticulturalists at EPCOT were very happy with the islands and Eric Darden, the festival director, is already thinking ahead and would like to feature floating islands in an even larger capacity next year. Planning and design for the 2010 festival is already underway.”
