Welcome to the gardens

W

elcome to Garvan Woodland Gardens, the botanical garden of the University of Arkansas.

Nestled in the picturesque Ouachita Mountains of Southwest Arkansas, very close to Hot Springs. The Gardens are a wonderful gift to all people from local industrialist and philanthropist Verna Cook Garvan.

Garvan Woodland Gardens is an example of The Natural State at its best: a canopy of pines reaching skyward providing protection for delicate flora and fauna, gentle lapping waves that unfold along the 4 ½ miles of wooded shoreline, and rocky inclines that remind us of the surrounding Ouachita Mountains.

Garvan Woodland Gardens’ mission is to preserve and enhance a unique part of the Ouachita environment; provide people with a place of learning, research, cultural enrichment, and serenity; develop and sustain gardens, landscapes, and structures of exceptional aesthetics, design, and construction; and partner with and serve communities of which the Gardens is a part.

From the dynamic architectural structures to the majestic botanical landscapes, Garvan Woodland Gardens offers breathtaking sights (and fantastic photo opportunities) at every turn.

Open Every Day: February 1 through mid-November 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. www.garvangardens.org

Meet the little Rock

Rangers Soccer Club Photos: Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism.

T

he Rangers will return to their home field at War Memorial Stadium as part of the new National Premier Soccer League Heartland Conference, a new structure that resulted from the Rangers’ former South Central Conference splitting to accommodate growing numbers. The 2017 season has 16 matches, not including playoffs.

In 2015 the Little Rock Rangers were accepted to compete in the South Region of the National Premier Soccer League and held their inaugural season in 2016 with games at historic War Memorial Stadium, in the heart of Little Rock, Arkansas. The Rangers were accepted in the Women’s Premier Soccer League in the summer of 2016 and the women’s side will begin play this year 2017. First women’s game will be on May 25.

Also, this season the LR Rangers are holding a youth camp. Come train like the Little Rock Rangers!!! This summer we will be offering a unique chance to train like the Little Rock Rangers at War Memorial Stadium. Technical Advisor Ante Jazic and Head Coaches Will Montgomery and Jennifer Pfeiffer will be instructing the camp along with help from Rangers players.

All 3 coaches hold USSF A coaching licenses 14

and Coach Jazic’s resume includes being former professional player for 18 years, 11 in Europe, 7 years in the MLS at LA Galaxy and Chivas USA. He currently coaches the Canadian International u15 squad and assists on the u17’s, u18’s and u20’s.

Hurry to register, limited spots available!

Another important thing for the club happened last February when the Governor Asa Hutchinson signed three government reorganization bills Wednesday at War Memorial Stadium, including

one to put the War Memorial Stadium Commission under control of the state Department of Parks and Tourism. The Little Rock Rangers strive to improve soccer in the greater central Arkansas area by bringing in top quality players and coaches in order for the local youth to have examples of how the sport should be played. One of the goals of the club is to be able to provide local soccer club scholarships to underprivileged but motivated children in the area, through extra revenue from ticket sales and donations received. The Little Rock Rangers, our city’s official soccer team, is gearing up for a full 2017 season with a new schedule.
