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.
That's a lot of walking.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry - she had a complicated life ... so her determination to get these gardens built stand testimony to her positiveness. It must be interesting to visit - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHot Springs! Next time we visit my father-in-law, we'll have to go.
ReplyDeleteI've been near Hot Springs - now another reason to visit. Arkansas is a pretty state and this sounds like another lush asset.
