We started out our day with a quiet and peaceful walk thru the Mission Oak Gardens in Zanesville. This garden is a beautiful urban garden of over seven acres. It is in a residential neighborhood. First, we walked through the Conifer Garden.
Then across the parking lot is the Mission Oaks. It was a pleasant walk with flowering plants, ferns and all sorts of other plants.

A pleasant surprise was the Fairy and Gnome Garden. I love the miniature world of fairies.
Next, we drove to Dresden to see the world's largest basket. We visited the Longaberger Office building back in 2016. Now we have seen both.

Back to Zanesville. We stopped at the Historic Lock #10 Canal Park. Although we walked quite a way along the canal, there was no lock. We knew this was a working lock for boaters on the river so we assumed it was much further downstream. After returning to the truck, we tried to find it by driving. What we found was the Cottrill Sculpture Studio and two blocks of fantastic sculptures.
There were so many more, but I only have so much room. We did find Lock #10 along with a very nice lock keeper. We had a nice chat and took pictures.

After all this exploring I was tired.
