Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The Puerto Vallarta Garden Club is pleased to announce a partnership with the Colonia Emiliano Zapata Neighborhood Association, the Old Town Business Owners and Residents Association, the Viejo Vallarta Business Owners and Residents Association, and the City of Puerto Vallarta to renovate Lazaro Cardenas Park, an important community green space in the heart of the Romantic Zone.

On Saturday June 16th, club members, friends, and volunteers from throughout the city will be donating their time to plant bougainvilleas and trees donated by the Garden Club. The Puerto Vallarta Garden Club has also formed the Lazaro Cardenas Park Committee to oversee ongoing renovations and planting, including the installation of a new water system, trash bins, and increased security.

'A Day in the Park' is one of many events the Garden Club will host that brings residents together to celebrate community and share fun. Generous neighborhood sponsors will be providing music, food, and beverages. Remember to bring a hat, gloves, sunscreen, a bucket or shovel, if possible, and a friend.
