Garden Inspiration from Garvan Woodland Gardens

About Garvan Woodland Gardens

Arkansas philanthropist Verna Cook Garvan had a vision when she donated her 200+ acre peninsula on Lake Hamilton to the University of Arkansas with instructions to continue her decades of work. The university accepted the task and since then, Garvan Woodland Gardens has become a world-class botanical garden with an array of rare trees and shrubs, as well as thousands of flowering plants. Highlights include interesting bridges and architectural structures, plus a holiday lights display second to none.
