As is the norm, plenty is happening
this week and beyond in Hot Springs. The new Mystic
Creatures summer extravaganza is in place at Garvan Gardens. This exhibit
showcases the art of topiary with several exciting bigger than life creatures
created from childhood fantasies of magical creatures.
This project is a combined effort of
the Gardens in-house design and fabrication teams and the Landscape
Architecture Department in the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the
University of Arkansas. These groups studied design, plant materials and
structural systems necessary to create the topiary structures. According to the
Gardens website, “At up to 13 feet tall and covered in almost 20,000 plants,
these sculptures are by far the most ambitious of their kind to ever appear in
the Mid-South.” Some of the creatures featured are Fairy Gourdmother, Magical
Sea Serpent, the ‘Shroom Family, a Fairy Village and Sasquatch. Children and
adults are amazed by the magical creatures. The exhibit will be up throughout
the summer until Aug. 31. For more information go online to www.garvangardens.org.
Also, the annual Hog Rally rides
into town for the weekend June 5-7 with lots of events for motorcycle
enthusiasts. The winding roads around Hot Springs are beautiful in the spring
and offer lots of great riding adventure. Music, parades, bike games and
parties are schedules throughout the weekend. For more information go online to
www.arstatehogrally.com.
Then on Sunday a Rockin’ the River
event takes place at White Water Park in Malvern/Rockport. This is a day of fun
for canoeing, kayaking or tubing along with food and music. This event benefits
the First Step Foundation in Hot Springs. For more information and registration
information go online to http://supportfirststep.com/pdffiles/terms.pdf. So
grab your canoe, kayak or tube and join the water fun in Malvern, a town near
Diamondhead Resort Community.
Diamondhead works at offering a
great and fun lifestyle to all who live in the community. Hot Springs is a
dynamic community with a myriad of activities available year around, but
especially in the spring and summer. So, during the upcoming weekend of
Mystical Creatures, Hog Rally or Rockin’ the River, we invite you out to
Diamondhead to see what we offer in a picturesque place to live on Lake Catherine.
