What a busy summer!
2015 is our most ambitious year ever and we can't wait for you to see all of the work we've done when you return to Puerto Vallarta for the high season. It's beautiful.
With your generosity, we've had the resources to do so many things this summer:
• Our gardeners and volunteers have refreshed our more than 100 planter boxes and trees with extensive new ground covers and additional bougainvillea. With consistent watering, trimming and planting they look amazing.
• We expanded our beautification efforts with the installation of 20 new metal poles for additional bougainvillea on key streets throughout the Zona Romantica.
• We've worked to improve the appeal of Parque Lazaro Cardenas by planting over 250 new flowering Ixora plants. The PV Garden Club maintains the park, which hosts the weekly Farmer's Market, festivals, concerts and more.
• And something new: we've sponsored the very first trash storage bin as a prototype to help improve the cleanliness of the Zona Romantica. Trash collection is an issue many people have complained about for some time, and as a group focused on beautification efforts, we wanted to help with a potential solution.
In addition to all of the gardening, we're busy planning our 2015-2016 membership events. This will be our 5th season as an organization and we have lots of exciting things lined up.
More news to come, so stay tuned.
Enjoy the rest of your summer! We will see everyone soon.
