Incredible Gardens in Columbus

By Kendra Symon


Columbus public parks and gardens bring the peace and sweetness of nature to busy city dwellers with amazing flower gardens, an amazing glass enclosed conservatory, prize-winning roses, and glorious topiary.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden

Since 1895, the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden has served the general public as a respite from fast-paced town life with its wonderful exhibits and captivating events. Within the glass enclosed Conservatory, visitors are treated to the wonderful thing about a tropical wonderland in the Pacific Island Water Garden room. Wonder at the floating Chihuly glass spheres on the tropical pool and other superb displays of glass design across the conservatory.

One of the hottest exhibits is Blooms and Butterflies each spring where visitors get non-public with a range of species of butterflies in a blooming tropical setting. After rambling the exhibits visitors can ramble thru the rigorously manicured grounds and enjoy the ideal balance of nature and modern art. The exhibits revolve consistently and new exhibits are brought in so there's usually something superb to see at the Franklin Park Conservatory.

Whetstone Park and the Park of Roses

Inside Whetstone Park, one of the largest Columbus public parks is one of the most attractive Gardens in Columbus, the 13 acre Park of Roses which is home to 3 separate rose gardens. In the key garden, lavish beds of more than four hundred sorts of roses and nearly twelve thousand blooming roses fill symmetrical beds that surround a pretty water fountain situated in the middle of the roses.

Guests of the Heritage garden walk down walkways past older spread of roses on view. The Earth Kind Garden is a demonstration garden developed to test rose gardening without pesticides, chemical component manure using modern methods of gardening.

The All America Rose Selections is another display garden in the Park of Roses that's dedicated to breeding better roses with better upkeep solutions. Apart from a brilliant demonstration of roses, visitors are treated to herb, daffodil, and provoking evergreen gardens.

The Topiary Garden

One of the Columbus public parks, the Topiary Gardens, was created by James T. Mason, using the paiting "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" as an inspiration.

The painting photographs Victorian age residents enjoying a nice day in the park at the shore with family, mates, and pets. The Topiary Garden has reproduced lots of the characters found in the painting using creative horticulture. Imagine mooching thru a garden bursting with Victorian characters made using topiary on common shrubbery and walking past the pool garnished with topiary of someone fishing from a little ship and much more. This amazing example of Columbus public parks plays host to concerts, live performances, and romantic marriages.
