Plant hardy, easy-to-grow staples—including ivy, ferns, and geraniums—to create classic container groupings that will last the season

Conway is filled with merriment during the month of May. From college and high school graduation celebrations to the highly anticipated Toad Suck Daze festival, there are plenty of reasons to visit this centrally located jewel. Whether you’re in town for a day or call the city home, read on for a few of our favorite stops.

To start the day, head for Oak Street and the historic downtown Conway area. Make Bell & Sward (501-504-6880, bellandsward.com), the well-stocked gentlemen’s clothier, your first stop. Here, you’ll find the latest in menswear, from casual dress to fine suits. Owners Zanette Bell and Erik Sward have filled the shop with high-quality lines including Southern Point Co., Peter Millar, Criquet, Collared Greens ties, and Ballin leather goods. In addition, they are now carrying the newly revitalized Duck Head line, which is made in the U.S.A. You’ll love the interior of the store which has exposed brick and mortar, hardwood flooring, and leather furniture—giving it a natural, masculine feel that perfectly complements the store’s selections.
