We were here on a misty morning, but we still enjoyed this small park in downtown Columbus. The topiaries are wonderful, and you can walk around them to see them from different angles. The topiaries are a work in progress, and you can see the metal frameworks on which the yews are growing. Yes, they are live plants, not plastic.... More

If you like Impressionism, and you like the painting by George Seurat called A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte, then you should visit the topiary garden.

The few times I've been here it's needed a little upkeep but, considering that it's a free park, it's definitely worth a visit. The topiary is a replica of Seurat's "A Sunday in the Park..." painting and, as well as that, there are lovely paths to walk and a pond wiith flowering lily pads. My grandsons, around 8 and 10...

Went on a bus trip that stopped there to eat our lunch. I had never been there nor heard of it but it was beautiful! They need to get the word out about it because I have talked with many people who live in Columbus and they have never heard of it~but then again maybe they want to keep it... More
