Description
Makes you want to just sit quietly and smell the flowers, doesn't it? Visit "Garvin Gardens" in Hot Springs, AR and you can do just that. It's a wonderful garden full of native and rare flowers, trees, herbs, etc. Owned and operated by the University of Arkansas and located alongside Lake Catherine, Garvin Gardens is open year round. There are millions (and I mean millions!) of bulbs planted and they seem to bloom right on schedule. In the Fall, you see mums in huge mounds. Butterflies are everywhere and you can even bring your dog with you for a nice walk. One of the neatest things here is a Glass and Timber Chapel where weddings are booked months in advance. There is also an area for a wedding reception. Almost every time we visit, we see a bride-to-be having professional photo's taken in the open areas where shadows and flowers create breathtaking photographs. And during the winter months, the entire place is enhanced with lights that will take your breath away and would make for an unbelievable winter wedding after dark!
I guess I'm giving free advertising to come for a visit to Arkansas! Yes, our state was home to president Bill Clinton, and the Clinton Library in Little Rock is wonderful. But don't let this little gem...Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs...get away from you if you ever come for a visit!
