THE Gardener Goes to PV Gardens (Part 1)
















Through friends here our last excursion was to the sprawling PV Botanical Gardens. Pat was guided personally by the creator and curator. In only 4 years he has carved out and planted gardens that would take over 12 years to flourish back home. Of course he says "it's easy to have a green thumb in Mexico --- just stick it in the ground and it grows!" We learned some interesting facts such as the vanilla bean is the most labour-intensive crop in the world. And visitors can commemorate loved ones by dedicating colourful step tiles. But I'll put up two postings of pictures and in Part 2 tell you my favourite of the gardens....
