Garvan Woodland Gardens
Garvan Woodland Gardens is located about six miles from Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The garden was started by Verna Cook Garvan in the 1920s. After her death, she left the garden to the Department of Landscape Architecture of the University of Arkansas.
The gardens are simply breathtaking. They cover 210 acres and contain waterfalls, picturesque bridges, gorgeous overlooks, and a Japanese garden. It's a perfect place for nature lovers.
The gardens are open February through November from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and in December from noon to 9:00 PM. Admission is $10.00 per adult and $5.00 per child.

DeleteBeautiful! I love waterfalls and rocky bluffs. My SIL has a house that backs up to a bluff, and they have water piped to the top that they can turn on to trickle into a stream at the bottom. Seems like living in a park like this one pictured!
