The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus Ohio has a wonderful collection of Dale Chihuly’s glass artwork on display. This collection is the largest owned by a conservatory or botanical garden. I try to visit the Conservatory during the annual Orchid display that usually runs from mid January to mid April. It’s a botanical delight to wander through the thousands of beautiful orchid blossoms and admire the spectacular Chihuly glass pieces artfully displayed throughout the exhibit.
