“This year’s Harvest Blooms is possibly one of the Conservatory’s strongest horticulture exhibitions yet,” said Horticulture Exhibitions Designer Garet Martin. “This is the best place in central Ohio to become fully immersed in the fall season.”

And of course, the exhibit will be accompanied by the fan-favorite, The Great Glass Pumpkin Patch sale from 10am-4pm, September 21-23, featuring hundreds of collectable, premium glass pumpkins that have been hand crafted by local and nationally known gaffers.

Other exhibitions currently on display include Topiaries at the Conservatory (ending Oct. 28); Field by Design I/O, a motion-sensitive digital ecosystem that grows and blooms based on visitors’ movements and the annual Bonsai Display (ending Nov. 11).
