Nature in itself is a work or art, but what happens when nature mimics a work of art?

Few people know about the quaint, seven-acre park in Columbus that features one of Ohio’s most unique gardens, where art and plant life blend. The Topiary Garden is a true hidden gem to those looking for something new to explore. Here’s why you’ll want to visit this one-of-a-kind park:

Topiary Garden is a "landscape of a painting of a landscape," according to the park’s website.

Specifically, the topiary garden depicts Georges Seurat’s famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grand Jatte—and it is the only known topiary representation of a painting.

It's truly a beautiful sight to behold.
The garden features 54 human figures, eight boats, three dogs, a monkey and a cat. The tallest figure is 12 feet high, and all of them are made of yew.

Fun fact: Although the park was dedicated in 1992, the grounds were once home to the Ohio School for the Deaf.
Be sure to visit the park this summer, when the topiaries are a vibrant shade of green, the flowers are blooming and the ducks are out and about.

Topiary Garden continues to flourish via Friends of Topiary Park and individual donations.
Visitors can learn about the history of the grounds throughout the park and at the gatehouse near the pond, which is home to the Visitor’s Center, a gift shop and restrooms.

Fun fact #2: It was built in chateau style, as it was meant to compliment the last remaining building from the Ohio School for the Deaf.
If you're looking for a truly unique piece of Ohio history, you'll definitely want to check out this hidden gem.
