Happy Spring!

By: Catrina Leone

 

This has been one long winter but spring is in the air in Cleveland! What better way to celebrate spring time than to go to the Big Spring Event at Cleveland’s Botanical Garden, which is going on all the way until April 27th! It is a great, imaginative world where kids can play, run and discover in an enchanting garden that looms above them with many vibrant colors. Being surrounded by the sights and smells of bright, beautiful flowers, and the sounds of familiar and cozy spring showers, will transport you to a larger-than-life wonderland of springtime fun!
