April 25 & 26, 2014
As we settled down in Searcy, Arkansas to wait for our
window glass to arrive, we decided to take a trip in the Jeep down
the road a ways to the Hot Springs area.
Jo had found a description on the internet of a
Gardens to the south of Hot Springs that looked really pleasant and
seemed to have great walkways to explore.
Garvan Woodland Gardens is the
botanical gardens of the University of Arkansas, (maybe we will see a
razorback) and a gift from philantropist Verna Cook Garvan.
We spent a couple of hours walking
the many trails and photographing the changing landscapes that
presented at every turn in the paths.
The azaleas along the paths in the
woods created colorful pleasant sights all along the trails.
Several
unique bridges, small waterfalls, and groomed flower beds added even
more to the enjoyment of this special gardens.
The chapel and carillon tower are
beautiful architectural designs.
We did not see any razorbacks (that
we were aware of) and we didn't even hear a Woooooooo.Pig.Sooie !
Then it was on to Hot Springs where
we found a room for the night, had dinner, and relaxed after our nice
day.
