It's Not About The Destination - It's About The Journey !
It Is What It Is
Garvan Woodland Gardens
Just a short drive from Hot Springs Arkansas, tucked away down a back road is are 210 acres run by the University of Arkansas, Garvan Woodland Gardens. I googled things to do in Hot Springs, and amongst the usual bath houses and other touristy attractions, I found this little jewel of architectural beauty. I arrived about an hour after they opened and even though it was hot and very humid, I enjoyed a nice relaxing couple hours just wandering the paths. I missed out on some of the flowering plants, but there were plenty others still in bloom and the beautiful trees provided lots of shade. There is a Fairy Garden that was really cool and provided tons of ideas on how to build my own when I finish this adventure. Off to the side was a path that led down and around to a couple buildings, so with no timeline I meandered over to check them out. What I found was beautiful architecturally designed church nestled in the wood. When I first saw it, I thought it looked familiar, and after going inside, I remembered where I had seen it before. I had seen an episode of 19 Kids and Counting, Ben proposed to Jessa in the same little chapel. It was more beautiful in person than on TV…..lol
