7 Enchanting Columbus Gardens You Need To Visit This Spring 🌸

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio: The 2020 season kicks off January 25th with the exhibition Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life & Art of Barbara Shermund. Starting in 1925, Shermund contributed nine covers and hundreds of cartoons to the New Yorker, and later became a celebrated mainstay at Esquire. Her cartoons had a fierce and feminist electricity rarely seen in that era of male dominated cartooning. The show runs through April 26th and you can find more details right here. 💥💥

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

I know I'm probably jumping the shark here, but I am so ready for spring. We're only 9 days out now, so I feel like it's a great time to talk about getting some fresh freaking air. Sure, Ohio will probably spite me with a wayward snowstorm, but I don't care. I'm ready to get out there and enjoy some perfect temperatures and blooming flowers. If you're feeling my same vibes, then you definitely need to check out these gardens. They're going to be beautiful here in the next few weeks!
