☀️ The 14 Best Things To Add To Your Columbus Summer Bucket List

Sponsored by Franklin Park ConservatoryLooking for the perfect way to kick off summer? This weekend, you can visit the animals of the Conservatory's Topiary Collection. Thirty larger-than-life animal topiaries will be on display this summer! Explore the Conservatory Courtyards, Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children's Garden, and Grand Mallway to discover topiaries filled with plants and colorful moss that mimic the colors and textures of fur, skin, scales, and feathers. To start planning your visit, go to fpconservatory.org. 🌳

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Good morning, friends. Or afternoon, depending on when you click "open". I hope it's been a great one so far. I've found myself daydreaming about all of my upcoming summer plans lately, and I have to say, I'm getting pretty excited. It's really easy to get bogged down in life and feel like there isn't time to stop and appreciate, but there's just something about summer in Columbus that makes me want to get out and experience it as much as possible. If you're looking for the perfect summer itinerary, I've got some recommendations.

Luckily, there are plenty of videos just like this one, that shows just how much our city has changed over the years.
