Description: This is a postcard with a photograph of Hartman's Historical Garden in Springfield, Ohio. The photo depicts a view of the garden that includes miniature sculptures and rock formations. The garden was created by H.G. Hartman in 1932 when he became unemployed and had extra time on his hands. He started by building a fish pond and eventually added famous landmarks in miniature religious scenes and pop culture figures. All of the figures were made from cement and decorated with small stones. After Hartman's death in 1944, H.G.'s youngest son, Ben Hartman, took over the maintenance of the garden. However Ben passed away in 2007, and the property was put up for sale in 2008. The Kohler Foundation began restoring the site in 2009. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "an inside view of the ? growth to be found in the Conservatory the year round. Eden Park, Cincinnati. Ohio." Eden Park's first greenhouses, built in the 1880s, were used strictly for growing plants. In 1902, a new greenhouse designed for public displays was opened. The following year, the display greenhouse held a chrysanthemum show, and the Park Board decided to maintain a consistent change of plants and flowers to keep displays new and attractive to visitors. As a result, more than 300, 000 people visited the greenhouse in its first two years. In 1930, the Park Board decided to replace its old greenhouse buildings with a modern plant conservatory. The new building was designed in the Art Deco style, the leading design movement of the 1920s & ‘30s, and was built of aluminum and glass. The Eden Park Conservatory opened to the general public on Sunday, March 26, 1933. December of that year, the Conservatory began a holiday tradition of exhibiting its Educational Christmas Tree, decorated with ornaments made of natural materials and crafted by Conservatory horticulturists. On April 30, 1937, the Board officially named the new conservatory the Irwin M. Krohn Conservatory, in honor of Irwin Krohn's 25 years of service on the Board of Park Commissioners.
