Garvan Woodland Gardens is the botanical garden of the University of Arkansas. A gift from local industrialist and philanthropist Verna Cook Garvan, the site is nestled in the picturesque Ouachita Mountains of southwest Arkansas in Hot Springs. The big draw in December is the Holiday Lights event, a visual extravaganza. Golf cart rentals are available on a daily basis for those unable to walk the path. Purchase your tickets in advance and be sure to leave plenty of time to arrive before the nightly display starts.
