Franklin Park Conservatory

Hands down, the Conservatory is still the city’s best spot. My favorite shots from last week’s excursion.

A Visual Ode to Zinnias
November 4, 2021
It maybe weird to write an ode to a flower, but this summer I couldn’t have loved my zinnias more. I planted them through seed and watching the vibrant blooms multiply on the little garden plots I cared for in my front yard was a treasure all season, while bees
Like a Walk in the Park
May 7, 2021
Last month I mentioned that I was hoping to get my groove back with this new Spring season, and I’m happy to say that the groove is kind of on, in my garden and in my life. In my garden beds, I planted the sugar snap peas, radishes, arugula and
It Begins Again
March 23, 2021
It’s hard to believe what a crazy year we all had. I’m waxing nostalgia on this Covid year because this week last year all of my son’s schools shut down. And now this week, they are opening 5 days a week again. Looking back on the last 12 months, I

A Technicolor World
November 6, 2019
The show is almost done for the season, but the Ohio trees have given a stunning performance to end the year. I was pretty busy the last couple months and wasn’t able to get out too much, but recently I’ve been able to sneak out a couple times to work
