Vallarta Bird and Nature Festival, February 25, 26, 27 showcases the beauty of Mexico and highlights important conservation efforts at Vallarta Botanical Garden.

Vallarta Botanical Gardens is a leading environmental organization in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with the mission to study, preserve, and display Mexican native plants for the enjoyment of locals and international visitors and has been a top conservation leader in Mexico for over 16 years.

From a world-class facility in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Vallarta Botanical Garden provides an unprecedented opportunity to share the wonder of the vast diversity of Mexico’s unrivaled and unique plant species with people from around the world. The assembled botanical collections are housed in a safe environment, and the Garden maintains the most-visited public collection of orchids in the country of Mexico.
 

Additionally, The Vallarta Botanical Garden has focused on protecting endangered species and habitats since its founding in 2004. In an ongoing campaign, Vallarta Botanical Garden plays a vital role in a decade-long conservation project for the emblematic military macaw (militaris mexicanus), which was vanishing from the area until recently. The artificial nest box project has provided a vital link in the reproduction of this apex species, and wild military macaws can be seen daily at the botanical garden.

The Vallarta Botanical Garden is a 501c3 organization, and donations are tax-deductible. The Vallarta Botanical Garden also provides tax-deductible receipts for donations from Canadian taxpayers.

“When I moved here in 2004, I did not know I was going to start a botanical garden. One day, the idea came to me while hiking in the Sierra Madre mountains. It felt like walking in a dream as I looked at all the varieties of wild plants, including cacti and magnificent wild orchids, and wondered why there wasn’t a botanical garden in Puerto Vallarta. Since our gardens’ founding in 2005, we have won many international tourism awards for garden excellence and have become a tourism generator for the Puerto Vallarta area”.

Vallarta Botanical Garden has celebrated the gorgeous Mexican wildlife, its diversity, and its most prided flora species and birds with the remarkably successful Vallarta Bird and Nature Festival, attracting crowds of visitors and raising awareness regarding the importance of wildlife preservation.

The Vallarta Bird and Nature Festival are held each year to spark awareness for birds and nature and to inspire people to become involved in wildlife and habitat protection here in Mexico.

Vallarta Botanical Garden focuses on sustainability and conservation projects in Puerto Vallarta, and ensures Mexican native plants and species are protected.
