Krohn
Conservatory, Eden Park, Cincinnati
Dear George,
We used to spend our free
time during the holidays at the shopping malls. Those were exciting days, and I can’t imagine what happened
to them. Maybe we’ve gotten less
materialistic, or perhaps Katja relies more on the Home Shopping Network. In any case, we seem to have forsaken
the malls and replaced them with visits to cultural institutions. This season we’ve taken in the Xmas
displays at the Art Museum and the Taft, gone to the Pottery Fair at the
Clifton Arts Center, ogled over the train display at the Museum Center, and
will soon be going to the Zoo’s Festival of Lights. The most Xmas-y of all, though, has to be the holiday floral
show at the Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park. Not only do they have a crèche and a gaggle of sheep, but
they have a magnificent Xmas tree, tons of poinsettias and cyclamen (some of
them sculpted into trees themselves), and multiple train tracks with model
trains and trolleys which wend their way around stylish renditions of
Cincinnati landmarks. If we’re not
in a holiday mood already, here are some photos from the Krohn show which are
sure to put us there.
Love,
Dave
