DESCRIPTION

Garvan Woodland Gardens is a stunning 210-acre botanical garden located near Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is renowned for its diverse and meticulously maintained landscape, which includes a variety of themed gardens, cascading streams, waterfalls, and woodland settings. Highlights include the Japanese Garden, the Evans Children’s Adventure Garden, and the Anthony Chapel, a striking glass and wood structure that blends harmoniously with the surrounding forest.


Is it worth flying a drone there?
From a purely visual perspective, Garvan Woodland Gardens would provide captivating aerial footage thanks to its lush greenery, beautifully designed landscapes, and impressive architectural elements. However, flying a drone in the gardens themselves is generally not recommended or permitted for several reasons, including visitor safety, privacy concerns, and the preservation of the serene environment.

Am I legally allowed to fly a drone there?
No, you are not permitted to fly a drone in Garvan Woodland Gardens. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) operations are typically restricted in botanical gardens and similar facilities to protect the natural environment and to ensure that visitors have a disturbance-free experience.

Do I need LANCE authorization?
LANCE (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorization is required for drone operations in controlled airspace near airports. However, since Garvan Woodland Gardens itself prohibits drone flights, LANCE authorization is somewhat irrelevant in this context. Should you wish to fly a drone in other areas near the gardens, you would need to check if those areas fall under controlled airspace and apply for LANCE authorization as needed.

Anything else I need to know?
- Private Property: Since Garvan Woodland Gardens is private property managed by the University of Arkansas, they have their own rules and regulations. Always check the latest guidelines from the garden’s administration.
- Drone Flights Nearby: If you wish to capture aerial shots of the general area, consider locations outside of the gardens. Ensure that you follow all FAA regulations and state laws governing drone flights.
- Nature and Wildlife: Keep in mind that drones can disturb wildlife and the natural ambiance of the area, so always prioritize responsible flying.
- Public Safety: Always avoid flying over people or populated areas to mitigate safety risks.
To sum it up, while Garvan Woodland Gardens offers breathtaking scenery that would be ideal for aerial photography, the rules and regulations in place typically prohibit the use of drones within the garden's grounds. Always consult the official guidelines and respect the restrictions set by the garden’s administration.
