Franklin Park Conservatory is appropximately a 13-acre site comprised of botanical gardens in Columbus, Ohio. It was built following th mid-1800s with Victorian-inspired glasshouses. The park is currently hosting a series of 18 large sculptures on display by Dale Chihuly as well as "Topiary Takeover", which sees animals created out of plants. I toured the park and gardens. There's also a large model train set and villages to see outdoors and a large play area with different types of interactive elements.
First up are the Dale Chihuly sculptures, which I visited in Kew in 2019: Dale Chihuly at Kew Gardens: "Reflections on Nature". There are eighteen installations on display currently to enjoy, and I managed to capture them below.
After checking out the sculptures, I had a look around the park. The weather was so hot.
"Topiary Takeover" sees animals constructed from plant, and there are several of these in the park along with information about the animal and music.
