The history of the gardens.....

What an amazing day! The Gardens were beyond beautiful, a truly lovely spring day. I was lucky enough to be here for Tulip Extravaganza and they weren't kidding!!
The garden has many many different sections. The first on the self guided walking tour was the Garden of the Pine Wind. A Japanese garden that was forerunner 5 in the nation by the Journal of Japanese Gardening.
One of the first things you see is this stone sculpture donated by Hanamaki, Japan, Hot Springs' sister city.
More pictures from this section, 300 varieties of Asian plants in this area!
The next section was the Southern Inspiration Garden
Then I turned a corner and found the tulips.....breathtaking!
And right in the middle of the tulips........a Fairy Village!!!!
Then more glorious tulips!
The rest are pictures taken all over the park.
Kids Adventure Garden and Treehouse
Might just be the best chicken salad ever, and it came from the Chipmunk Cafe!
All in all, a very awesome day!
