🇫🇷 Bonjour à tous ! Voici notre deuxième pré-atelier de cuisine ! Comme je suis rentrée quelque temps en Corée, la date de cette rencontre a été un peu repoussée. J’espère que vous allez tous bien ! Le temps a passé, et maintenant il fait vraiment un temps idéal pour un pique-nique. Alors je me suis dit que, avant de commencer les ateliers de cuisine, ce serait une belle idée de se retrouver pour passer un moment ensemble, apprendre à se connaître et profiter d’un pique-nique. Ce serait aussi l’occasion de découvrir différentes spécialités et snacks de plusieurs pays. Et après le pique-nique, si certains en ont envie, on pourra aussi partager nos bonnes adresses et pourquoi pas aller manger ensemble dans un endroit recommandé par le groupe ! Lors de la dernière rencontre, chacun avait apporté un snack de son pays à partager. Cette fois, j’aimerais que chacun apporte un plat simple, quelque chose qu’il aime particulièrement, qu’il maîtrise bien, ou qu’il peut préparer rapidement et facilement à la maison, afin que nous puissions goûter les plats des uns et des autres. Et si cuisiner est difficile pour vous cette fois-ci, ce n’est pas un problème : vous pouvez aussi apporter un petit snack acheté dans une boutique représentant votre pays en France. Cette fois, j’aimerais aussi que nous soyons un peu plus nombreux afin de pouvoir discuter ensemble du futur atelier de cuisine qui sera organisé par la suite. Je partagerai un lien vers le groupe WhatsApp avec les participants pour donner tous les détails. L’idée est de continuer à échanger ensemble pour construire petit à petit des rencontres encore plus conviviales et intéressantes ! À très bientôt, j’ai hâte de vous rencontrer ! 🇬🇧 Hello everyone! This is our second pre-cooking workshop meetup! Because I went back to Korea for a short time, this meetup was delayed a little more than expected. I hope you’ve all been doing well! Now that some time has passed, I feel like the weather is finally perfect for a picnic. So before starting the cooking workshops, I thought it would be a lovely idea to spend some time together getting to know each other through a picnic. It would also be a great opportunity to discover different foods and snacks from various countries. And after the picnic, if people would like to, we could also share restaurant recommendations and maybe even go have a meal together somewhere recommended by the group! At the last meetup, everyone brought a snack from their own country to share. This time, I’d love for each person to bring one dish from home — something they personally love, feel confident making, or something simple and quick that they can prepare easily — so that we can all taste each other’s food. And if cooking is difficult for you this time, that’s totally okay: you can also bring a small snack from a shop in France that represents your country. This time, I’d also love for more people to join so that we can talk together about the future cooking workshop that will be held later on. I’ll send a WhatsApp group link to the participants with all the details. Let’s keep talking together and build even better and more enjoyable gatherings little by little! See you all soon — I’m really looking forward to meeting you!

### **A floral gathering for women who want to slow down and reconnect with themselves.** ***Blossom*** is a gentle pause, not a traditional workshop ; a moment to breathe, create, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a cozy café setting. Surrounded by flowers and a welcoming atmosphere, you’ll create your own bouquet using blooms you personally bring, making every arrangement unique. There is no “right way” to create here ; some bouquets will be minimal, others wild and expressive, each reflecting the woman who makes it. This gathering is for women who crave beauty in the little things and rarely take time to pour back into themselves. You’ll leave with a bouquet made by your own hands and the feeling of having given yourself a soft, intentional break. Come as you are; let the flowers and the conversations do the rest! **✨ What to expect:** * A gentle, creative flower moment for women * Time to slow down, talk, and create your own bouquet * A cozy café atmosphere with meaningful conversations. **⏰ When:** Saturday\, May 30\, 2026 \| 4PM *(16h00)* **📍Where:** 17 boulevard Morland · Paris **🌐 Language**: English ☕ One drink minimum at the venue 📇 Registration on Meetup 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Feel free to bring a friend *(upon Meetup registration)* ⏱️ **15‑minute late policy**, out of respect for other participants and to start the workshop on time 👋 On arrival, please ask for the **“Elumea team”** at the café **💬 For any questions or comments, feel free to post directly on Meetup** 🌸 We are not professional florists ; this is a relaxed, creative gathering *** We can’t wait to meet you and spend a lovely evening together. 🌿 **About Eluméa** Eluméa is a community created to bring women together through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and genuine connection. 📷 Instagram: **@elumeafoundation**

Hey, Let's celebrate the festival of colors at Jardin d'acclimatation on May 31st, 2026. We'll meet at 1:00 PM in front of elephants after the entrance. The event starts at 10H and lasts until 19H, you are free to come and go any time, but I highly suggest to be around the LVMH Foundation around 15H-16H. You can join the WhatsApp group : https://chat.whatsapp.com/HfBJVGxGmfvKDj37UVVIJ2?mode=gi_t A glimpse of what to expect: [https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/rU7GmlfbQoc?feature=shared) For food, you have various stalls, where you need to pay and buy. There is an Indian village setup with stalls to purchase bangles, Indian traditional clothes, henna and tattoo as well. Added attractions: different dance workshops, a parade and many many more!!! Some points to consider: 1: The colors are dry organic, which will come off with a single wash and wipe, however, it is recommended to wear light cotton clothes. 2: It is recommended to carry a little cash because there is generally a network issue so sometimes the card machines might not work at the stalls. 3: You need to purchase the simple ticket for entry to the Jardin worth 7€ to gain entry to the event: [https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple](https://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/billetterie?urlTicket=Simple) 4: You can purchase colors at the event site so you don't need to necessarily carry colors with yourself.

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

Art in the Park: DIY Garden Mosaic Stepping Stone Saturday, May 30, 2026 In this fun hands-on workshop, let your creativity flow as you design and craft your own mosaic stepping stone, perfect for adding a personal touch to your outdoor space! You will use concrete, colorful tiles, and your imagination to create a unique piece of garden art. No experience needed! We will provide the concrete, molds, tiles, and some inspiration patterns. If you have any ceramic pieces, glass, or stones of your own that you would like to add to your mosaic, feel free to bring them, but we will also have plenty on hand. Your mosaic stepping stone will need to set and dry, so we will create them on this day and you will pick yours up within the next week. * Ages 16+. * Registration required by May 26. * Yard ReWild discount applies.
