The Garvan Woodland Gardens 210 acres (850,000 m²) are a botanical garden located at 498 Arkridge Road by the Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA. They are owned by the University of Arkansas and open almost every day during daylight hours, for a fee.
The gardens are situated on a wooded peninsula with 4.5 miles (7 km) of shoreline on Lake Hamilton, across which visitors arrive aboard the Belle of Hot Springs, a restored riverboat. The gardens feature rocky inclines reminiscent of the surrounding Ouachita Mountains, floral landscapes, streams, and waterfalls in a natural woodland setting, plus a Japanese Garden with Japanese maples and tree peonies, a conifer border, and various flower and rock gardens. Its collections display hundreds of rare shrubs and trees, including camellias, magnolias, roses, and over 160 different types of azaleas.
