Compton Gardens is a 6.5-acre woodland garden that includes native flora and fauna. The gardens are located at the home of Dr. Neil Campton, who was devoted to protecting the region’s biodiversity. The gardens’ ½-mile system of trails are meant to operate as a free green space and function as an access point to the Crystal Bridges Trail. Each plant in the gardens is carefully marked for educational purposes and the collection includes two Arkansas Champion trees. The gardens also operate as a private and non-profit event venue and hosts several events throughout the year. Open daily from dawn to dusk.
