Garvan Woodland Gardens

Recently opened in Hot Springs is Garvan Woodland Gardens, Arkansas’ first botanical garden.  Surrounded by 4 1/2 miles of pristine shoreline and featuring 210 acres of wooded forest, Garvan Woodland Gardens features the nation’s largest Japanese style rock and stream garden with two reflecting pools, three cascades, two waterfalls, and an impressive pond designed by David Slawson.  The garden also displays an architecturally significant pavilion designed by E. Fay Jones and Maurice Jennings, along with a symphony of woodland flowers and plants.

The new Anthony Chapel opened its doors in May 2006 and is well on its way to become one of Arkansas' premiere wedding locations. This striking, new architectural landmark with its soaring 57' ceiling, intricately laid rock work,  and massive floor-to-ceiling windows will entice engaged couples of all ages to consider the Gardens for their "I do's." There are numerous packages available with varying prices that will fit most any budget. Our on-site wedding supervisor, Suzie Dodson Burch, is available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and eliminate a little of the stress on your special day.

Donated by Verna C. Garvan to the University of Arkansas, the garden provides a laboratory for students and gardeners, while offering visitors an entertaining, educational and inspirational experience. 
800-366-4664 / 501-262-9300.
