Topiary Park is a 9-acre public park in the Discovery District of Columbus, Ohio that includes a fascinating topiary garden.

The topiary garden is carefully designed to represent the landscape by the renowned painter George Seurat. As such, it is named “a landscape of a painting of a landscape.” Seurat’s 1884 painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a pointillist masterpiece that has been imaginatively copied by local sculptor James T. Mason and his wife Elaine.

He designed the frames and planted the first few bushes while Elaine did the original trimming and trained the city gardeners to maintain them. The garden has topiaries that depict 54 human figures, three dogs, eight boats, a monkey, and a cat. Visitors can see the whole “painting” from the easternmost hill in the park.
