Garvan Woodland Gardens


(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a beautiful place to visit in the Spring.  Betsy and I have stopped there a couple of times on our way to 'our' cabin on Mt. Nebo.  The trails through the gardens are beautiful, and we've enjoyed daffodils, tulips, and of course, azaleas.  Garvan Gardens also has an extensive rose garden which can be enjoyed later in the year.

Been to Hot Springs any number of times and enjoyed each one. However, do not recall ever seeing these lovely gardens.

So beautiful! Reminds me of our day in Brussels walking through the gardens filled with tulips, daffodils and hyacinths!

Have a beautiful day!

Takiego cudownego widoku mi trzeba było, gdy u nas za oknami biało od sniegu. Pozdrawiam.

I love gardens and gardens open to the public. So enjoyable. We went to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum while in Az. and it was gorgeous--miles of hiking trails and everything done nicely. Most everything Cacti but other flora too. MB

This looks like something out of a fairytale George.
Love it!

A lovely woodland trail. The azaleas look very natural in that setting. I like the curving path through the wood.

Neal said...

We've never been there but looking at your beautiful pictures it is some place we would love to go.

I look at this photo and wonder what it would be like if my wife and I really worked at having a well-planned garden. My guess is that we'll have to wait until the kids are grown.

Very beautiful, and a great photo, too, George.
I love azaleas.

So gorgeous! I love azaleas in the spring, which I assume these are! Makes me think of Va! :-)
