Mexico–Some people can’t put together a desk from a DIY store. Robert Price assembled an entire botanical garden from scratch.
Price, a former restaurant owner from Savannah, Ga., is the founder, executive director and curator of the Vallarta Botanical Gardens – a breezy Shangri La hideaway that sprawls over the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Many of us have watched the growth of this massive fantastic garden area. Visit after visit brought new colors and smells. Take a hike down to the river and get you feet wet amongst the smooth rocks and occasional fish. Vanilla grows skyward on some very old trees. Remarkable orchid collection and huge acres of blue agave for…what? LOL.
