the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival will be going on during our trip, and I've never seen it at all.. other than the topiary, what is there for the "average family" to enjoy during this? I saw the info about some garden shows but I dont think we're interested in that LOL

Other than the garden shows and topiaries, there are some cool displays on how they make the topiaries - and there is the Flower Power concert series. Last year my wife and I went to a Chubby Checker concert at EPCOT during the F&GF. It was GREAT. They usually have a pretty solid line-up of concerts available; depending on what weekend you go, there are usually 3 day blocks of the same guest performing (ie. Friday, Saturday & Sunday). You can find out more on the EPCOT website, under the F&GF section, look for the concerts.

I thought I remembered a discussion about F&G from 2009. I think the link will take you to a previous thread. MJM put a link to some articles that might help.

There is also allears.net. They usually have fab info.

I am NO gardener, although I love the outdoors, just not designing them. I did enjoy F&G. It's always worth trying something new.
