Celebrate Nature

Level Walking Trails

You will delight in the unusual plantings of the Celebration City theme park, from the unique "monkey puzzle" to the $13,000.00 variegated California holly tree. You will marvel at the may examples of shrub grafting throughout the park. Bed after bed of gorgeous annuals, perennials and topiaries greet you at every turn. You will have many questions about some of these plantings not ordinarily seen in our state.

Your tour of the Dewey Short Visitor's Center will include a lakeside walk with a knowledgeable guide on the history and facts of Table Rock Lake, which borders the park and areas beyond for a total of 857 miles of beautiful shoreline. Following the Q&A session, you will have time to stroll about the 12 individual gardens in the park that are landscaped and maintained by Master Gardeners of the Ozarks. A boxed lunch will be served under the big tent before departing.

Big Cedar is unquestionable one of the oldest and most beautiful resort communities on Table Rock Lake. It can be accessed both by land and by water and boasts complete convention facilities as well as a signature golf course. Our walking tour, led by landscape staff members will include beautiful water features, endless gardens of colorful annuals, unusual perennials and exotic grasses.

Experience the unsurpassed beauty and tranquility of Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. This private wilderness refuge encompasses 10,000 acres of stirring Ozarks beauty. Join the 2-mile walking tour identifying native trees and plantings or lag behind to sit near a trout stream or visit the Hope Wilderness Chapel. You will be in awe of the unspoiled expanse of the sheer limestone bluffs, the handcrafted bridges and scenic waterfalls. We will gather at the general store for blackberry cobbler before departing.
