I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Garvan Woodland Gardens
at the onset of spring, viewing what seemed like endless rolling hills of
daffodils and other spring flowers such as crocus and hyacinths. I’m a daffodil
fan but I’ve been told that tulip days at the gardens outside Hot Springs,
Ark., are a sight to see as well.
That’s why Garvan Woodland Gardens offers Tulip Extravaganza
through April 30, showcasing more than 150,000 Dutch tulips, in addition to
other spring annuals and azaleas in bloom. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily
with admission, $15 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12 and tykes 5 and under admitted
free.
The gardens also offer a wide variety of workshops, special
events such as bridal expos and musical performances, such as the upcoming “Celtic
Spring” concert by the Muses Creative Artistry Project on March 12. Be sure and
visit their website for more information at http://www.garvangardens.org.
Now enjoy the following spring fashion show:
