Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Columbus, OH was the Place to be for Topiaries and Chihuly in Summer 2023 !

The need for a short 4 day vacation found me in the great state of Ohio. There is so much to see and do in Ohio, that I could probably spend a month or more there, but on limited time, I tried to stuff in as much sightseeing as I could . One of my stops was the Franklin Conservatory and their special summer 2023 exhibit Garden Sarfari. What was Garden Safari ???? Thirty topiaries that sit amongst the beautiful flowers and gardens !!!!! How great is that??? Because where, other than maybe a plant nursery, can you find topiaries??? Plus Franklin’s topiaries were top notch!!! Sadly the exhibit ended Sept. 10, 2023. But hopefully other Gardens in USA cities will follow Franklin’s lead and also have topiary exhibits. Besides the topiaries, Franklin also boasts having a large Chihuly collection to see. Chihuly is the creator of beautiful, colorful glass works of art and to see Chihuly creations is to love them! Enough said – on to the photos!!!
