Yesterday for something different to do we decided to take the day off of yard work and workshop cleaning up and drove to Hot Springs. Hot Springs is about 80 or so miles southwest from us just as everything else tends to be. We had heard of the Garvan Woodland Gardens for a long time now but have never gone to see them. We missed the peak of the tulip season but there were still plenty to see. The azaleas are beautiful and so many! So here are some photo’s of what we saw yesterday – and due to allergies and the hotter than normal weather we really didn’t see everything but will go back another time I am sure. I have many more photos than these posted and will post a few more over the next couple days.
this azalea bud is almost double in size of the varieties that I have here at home. I could not believe how large it was.
pretty walk ways throughout the 210 acre park. I thought this bridge was so pretty, when you first come to the bridge and take a side path you don't realize what the structure of the bridge is until you go around the corner and see the tunnel through it. A pleasant surprise.
The Koi pond - they were very large and plentiful
a pretty waterfall in the pond area
a snowball tree! such a healthy plant the trunk was so big
a pretty trickling stream with a large fern at the top
I did get in one hour of quilting last night but didn’t really accomplish much with having been gone all day. Today I am now off to the eye doctor and my eyes will be dilated – I most likely won’t get to any quilting this evening and will have my sunglasses on all afternoon!!
