We started out the day by going to the Hot Springs Farmers and Artisans Market. It is held almost every Saturday morning and Tuesday evening. We enjoyed some live music and picked up some fresh produce.
Next we drove to Garvan Woodland Gardens, a 210-acre botanical garden located on the shore of Lake Hamilton, south of Hot Springs. The garden belongs to the University of Arkansas Department of Landscape Architecture. We had a lovely day exploring the various areas of the garden.
One interesting feature is a garden railroad operated by local model railroaders. It has three separate loop tracks and runs three trains plus Thomas the Train.
Near the end of our visit we came upon this whimsical fairy garden, constructed entirely of local materials (plus a few additions from Walmart--the online tour guide comments "How Arkansas is that?")
This "Wing Emporium" has the advertising slogan "Walk In, Fly Out."
