Last fall I made my first visit to Glenwood Gardens in Cincinnati. I returned again this year to visit the beautiful gardens in spring. 

This spring I made my first trip to the spring show, Fabulous Foliage, at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. The conservatory was full of colorful, vibrant blooms of all types. One of my favorite parts of the show was exploring the variety of leaves and studying their color and vein patterns.

This past August I made a short trip to Columbus and while I was there, I paid a visit to the Dawe's Arboretum in Newark, Ohio. It was a perfect mix of blooming flowers, full trees, beautiful trails, and quaint lakes.
