About Columbus Botanical Garden

Columbus Botanical Garden sprawls across 40 acres in north Columbus, where visitors walk the JoAnn Holt Walking Trail through mixed hardwood forest, explore specialized gardens including rose, cottage, herb, vegetable, and camellia gardens, and observe native songbirds at feeding stations. The garden features the 1898 Farmhouse and Gin House, a perennial wildflower collection, pollinator garden, and ginkgo shade garden. Programs include workshops on container gardening, native plants, and butterfly gardening, plus events like Monarchs and Marigolds Paint and Sip, Cyanotype Print Making, Homeschool Discovery Day, and Weekly Yoga in the Garden. The current exhibit La Calavera Catrina displays nine eight-foot-tall skeleton sculptures by artist Ricardo Soltero. The garden suits families, photographers, and gardeners seeking outdoor recreation and horticultural education. Admission costs $5 for adults, with kids free and members admitted free, according to columbusbotanicalgarden.org.
