Last Friday we celebrated the Grand Opening of the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens' new "Magical Ponytail Palm Maze" garden!

This new garden was made possible thanks to the generosity of Altman Plants. They volunteered in providing a large portion of the plants as well as the labor needed to bring the garden to life.

Visit the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens at 1270 Vale Terrace Dr.
