The Land Hydroponic Gardens and Aquaculture Farm

Disney, Disney, how does your garden grow? Discover these secrets and more on this special backstage tour in The Land pavilion at Epcot. Go alligator gazing, release lady bugs in greenhouses and explore mind-blowing, hydroponic crops from around the world. Then sprout seeds in your pocket to plant your own Disney magic at home.

Much of the produce grown in The Land makes its way to the restaurant tables of Walt Disney World.
Hydroponics (growing plants without soil) can be done on your own patio or rooftop, or even in your basement or garage — anywhere there is a light source!

One of Walt Disney Worlds hidden little treasures is in The Land. EPCOT stands for Experimental Community of Tomorrow and the $6 walking tour at The Land, an expedition into experimental gardening called the Behind the Seeds Tour, is a delight for curious gardeners.

Walt Disney World's experimental horticultural program is an effort in conjunction with a number of U.S. Federal agencies to research and develop major food crops with the intention of increasing plant yield, efficiency and nutritional value. They are also experimenting with cloning plants for faster maturation and are developing new species of food crops. Beneficial insects are also in use in these research facilities.
