Rivera Cuale-PEACE Community Garden Groundbreaking and Launch!


We are full of enthusiasm for the launch of our community garden at Riviera Cuale condominiums in Puerto Vallarta!! This type of hands-on educational space is the first-of-its-kind in the area!

Over 120 students from private and public schools throughout Puerto Vallarta will be able to go there and learn about indigenous plants and flowers, composting, nutrition and sustainable food production.

Teachers from three to five classes each month will integrate ecology into their curriculums, allowing students to participate in hands-on workshops taught by PEACE staff and volunteers during school hours.

There has already been so much interest and support by young, old, locals and visitors! Soil was turned and heaved by four dozen volunteers on February 5th during the garden groundbreaking and a “Garden Party” will take place for the general public in order to raise funds for materials. It will be a pot-luck event with face painting, arts and crafts, and music.

When: Sunday, February 27th
Time: 1-4pm
Cost: Minimum donation of $50 pesos for adults and $30 pesos for kids

Join us!!!
