Do you believe in fairies?

With the spring season in full swing, it’s not uncommon to see fairy gardens popping up all over the state in yards, private gardens and maybe even a park or two. These miniature gardens are whimsical hidden gems that make you feel like you’ve uncovered a special secret when you stumble upon one. While most are difficult to spot, there’s one hiding in a popular central Ohio destination for the spring season that you don’t want to miss.

Take a look:

This spring, Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus is hosting its very own fairy garden—and it’s unbelievably delightful.

Whether you call them fairies, pixies, sprites, hobgoblins, gnomes or imps, you’ll be filled with wonder as you observe their tiny houses.
