There’s a tiny place in Fayetteville that takes you away from the busy NWA area to a whimsical garden. The World Peace Wetland Prairie is a community flower garden that let’s you be the main character of your fairy tale. Simply take a moment for yourself to meditate among the lilies or engage in the nature and weed out your frustrations in the flowerbeds. Let’s take a relaxing stroll through this city’s secret garden.
There's a tiny garden hiding in middle of a Fayetteville neighborhood that's well worth the stop.
Unless you're specifically looking for it or live nearby, the World Peace Wetlands Prairie is easy to miss. It's located at 1121 S Duncan Ave., Fayetteville, AR 72701.
The World Peace Wetland Prairie is part community garden, part natural area, and an all around relaxing visit.
These little sanctuaries are important to urban areas since the soil and plants are a natural filter to the runoff water that eventually reaches watersheds and drinking reservoirs. They also help prevent flooding to the surrounding neighborhood.
