The 2024 Garden Year

I think it was the most consistent cold that we've experienced since moving here. Fortunately, it was a dry snow so there wasn't too much damage. Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens - Chihuly Exhibit



We visited Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbus, Ohio on an overcast and cool day, absolutely perfect weather for visiting a botanical garden.

    This all looks like chihuly glass to me. I have seen quite a bit of it. If not it is Chihuly wanna be. I simply can't have glass in the garden. I am such a clutz. I would break everything. I like the look tho.
