What:
Wildwood Park is a botanical garden with a twist: they also have a stage and feature live music, special events and cultural performances throughout the year. The gardens are located on 105 acres with a mission to celebrate the arts and nature. The gardens of Wildwood include The Pavilion Daffodil Garden featuring a spring daffodil and flowering tree garden, The Richard C. Butler Arboretum featuring natural woodland plants, the Bruce Garden featuring native perennials, ferns and grasses, the Doris Gay Asian Garden, the Hunter's Glen and the BOP Water Garden.
Where:
Located in Chenal Valley, just a 20-minute drive from downtown Little Rock. However, it feels like you're far away from downtown Little Rock when wandering the gardens. (Google Map)
