Words cannot express the joy that I felt earlier this month as the last panels of the roof to the Vallarta Conservatory of Mexican Orchids were installed and construction completion became a matter of just a few small details. A project that began as a vision shared by just a small core group of supporters has built widespread interest among the Vallarta community and well beyond from people of all walks of life. While plant enthusiasts and conservationists are perhaps the most obvious of those this type of work appeals to, it has also become a source of inspiration for those involved with local art, culture, and as well as those who just plain love Mexico and wish it to benefit from a world-class conservatory which we have all worked so hard to create. Those of you who have helped through contributions of funds, time, expertise, and labor please accept my deep thanks for your support once again on behalf of the entire VBG community.
For those who will be around on July 26th, please join us in the dedication of this new facility’s main stairway in memory of the late Mexican orchid researcher Roberto González Tamayo. I hope to see you there or at one of the other events we have this month… or any other day you have a chance to visit next!
Without the direct government funding that many of the other “TOP 10 Gardens in North America Worth Traveling For” receive, we thank our members and donors for allowing us to continue our mission, “to create Mexico’s foremost botanical garden for the discovery, study, propagation, conservation and display of native and exotic plants for the enjoyment of Puerto Vallarta’s residents and our visitors.
To those of you in Puerto Vallarta, please come up to the mountains and visit us soon; to those of you in other places, keep Mexico in your hearts!
From the Gardens,
Bob Price, Curator and Founder[readon1 url="https://www.vbgardens.org/july-2014-leaflet/#curator"]Source:www.vbgardens.org[/readon1]
