The Cincinnati Flower Show

Presented by Provident Bank

Celebrating 15 Years

All Aboard for the 15th Anniversary Cincinnati Flower Show!

Cincinnati, Ohio (USA) - Be among the first to preview A Wizard’s Garden at the Cincinnati Flower Show presented by Provident Bank April 21-25, 2004 at historic Coney Island. The exhibit is a look into the future of the Hamilton County Park District’s new children’s garden, Highfield Discovery Garden, scheduled to open July, 2004 at Glenwood Gardens in Woodlawn.

Revisit the splendor of childhood through this magical exhibit blending together the world of trains with the fantasy world of storybook tales amidst the pristine beauty of enchanting gardens. Model trains cruise past familiar miniature houses and stores inspired by stories such as The Adventures of Harry Potter and The Three Little Pigs, while an immense topiary fairy tale dragon lounges prominently among lush flora.

Only natural materials such as bark, branch, leaf and seed pod are used to construct the scenes and to create endless details: delicately shaved wood becomes roofing shingles; grapevine tendrils become elegant balcony railings. This truly unique conception is cleverly interpreted by award-winning landscape architect, Paul Busse of Applied Imagination located in Alexandria, Kentucky.

"There is no age limit on imagination," Mr. Busse says. "This is real visual entertainment for kids of all ages!"
