Garvan Woodland Gardens is the love child of Verna Garvan, whose father bought the land in the 1920s for its timber. Verna had a more romantic vision for the 210 acres left to her and in the 1950s began plotting out her dream garden. Surrounded by the woodlands of the Ouachita Mountains and the sparkling Lake Hamilton, she wanted to showcase the natural beauty of Arkansas. In 1985, she made an agreement with the University of Arkansas to operate the Gardens as a service to the people of Arkansas. Major development didn't begin until 2000 and it's amazing to me that so much has been done in such a short time. |

I
especially appreciated how you could take little spur paths and
get down to stream level.

The
Chinese Full Moon Bridge was one of my favorite spots. It's found
in the Garden of the Pine Wind with over 300 varieties of Asian
ornamental plants and 60 types of Japanese maple trees.
