Dubbed the "home of American coffee culture," Portland knows what it takes to brew the perfect cup. In a 2016 survey of 100 U.S. cities, Portland topped the list, boasting the most coffee roasters per capita and the highest number of cafés. With so many spots to enjoy a great cup of coffee, you might think there's little room for discovery — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Portland’s coffee scene continues to evolve, with unique additions like Oracle Coffee Company, run by Andy Hurley, the drummer of Fall Out Boy and a self-described "vegan straight-edge anarchist." The choices are endless, but for a glimpse of where it all began, visit the original Stumptown Coffee Roasters location at 4525 Southeast Division Street. Many credit this tiny space with launching Portland’s rise to coffee fame, now a chain with outlets from New York to LA.

Picture a serene green oasis in the heart of Bentonville — a 6.5-acre native woodland garden that doubles as a public park and event venue. This peaceful retreat, home to a diverse collection of native plants, is quickly gaining recognition as a regional destination.

In addition to its natural beauty, the site features a conference center ideal for meetings, seminars, retreats, weddings, and more. The woodland garden is also available for tours, events, and even film or commercial photo shoots, making it a versatile space for both relaxation and creativity.
