We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio recently, and rather than letting the photos sit in storage, I decided to share some of them with you. It was a really hot day, but it was enjoyable because everything was so incredibly beautiful.
Inside, of course, there are beautiful plants with beautiful foliage. There are different climates in different rooms.
There are more plants on the roof. I liked how the shirt on the lady echoed the color on the plants. There is another lady you can't see behind the plant. Both of them were making beautiful watercolor paintings of different scenes of the fountains below.
One of the featured exhibits outside is called Through the Vines: A Seasonal Journey. You can see the three arches on the right, but if you look farther ahead, you can see there are even more arches.
On the arches, there are wonderful creatures and plants. As you go through the arches, you see the time passing as they are seasonal.
As you can see, the sky was beautiful that day. The sun was bright but the day was really hot so we didn't linger very long.
Also outside is the The Paul Busse Garden Railway. It features railroad tracks with trains that are moving through lots of different scenes. Here is a blurb from their website about this exhibit.
Have a great week!
