Spring is such a beautiful time to see spring flowers in Cincinnati. You’ll find that the trees and flowers are in different stages of blooming from late March through May.
I’m sharing some of my favorite places to take pictures of flowers in the spring that you’ll want to add to your list.

Located along the Ohio River, Smale Park is a great park to start your flower adventure.

There is a parking garage across the street from the park.
If you’re feeling extra ambitious you can park for free at the Friendship International Park lot and walk along the river through the connecting parks from Sawyer Point Park, Yeatman’s Cove to Smale.
It’s a nice scenic walk around 1.4 miles each way.

One of my favorite spots for pictures is the flower section closest to the Ohio River near the playground with a view of the Roebling Bridge in the background.

The historic cemetery with a 733-acre garden is truly a gem. It’s a favorite of photographers of all levels year-round. It’s also a beautiful place to run or walk with miles of paved roads.
The cemetery offers special events and historical tours in the warmer months that history fans will love.
I took a tour around Memorial Weekend a few years ago and enjoyed learning about the meanings behind the symbols located on the headstones.
