Franklin Park Conservatory Offering Winter Escape

Need a break from the cold grasp of the new Winter? Well, outside of traveling to Bermuda, you’re likely stuck with whatever Ohio brings — which is cold and snow — unless you plan on traveling to Columbus’s premier conservatory at Franklin Park.

You can catch some incredibly colorful and delicate orchid blooms providing a respite from winter’s gray chill at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens’ 2017 installment of its Orchids exhibition, on view January 7 through March 5, 2017.

Stroll through an indoor garden inspired by the opulence of the Art Deco movement. Thousands of orchid blooms and tropical plants are displayed in artful designs reflecting the global trends of the 1920s.

With nearly 30,000 species, including the vanilla plant, the orchid family is the largest families of flowering plants. Known for their color and fragrance, orchids are cultivated for enjoyment, food, and, in some cultures, medicine.
