The Alta Vista Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden located in Vista, California, United States. [1]
Alta Vista Botanical Gardens was established by the Botanical Garden Foundation, a nonprofit organization in 1999 to construct gardens on city-owned land in Vista. [2] In November 2005, the gardens' board of directors adopted a new plan [3] created by Todd Cure', Bryan Morse, and Ron Holloway, for a collection of garden spaces and gathering spots and the Vista City Council unanimously approved the plan. [4]
The garden was also contributed by many individuals for the design and growth of the gardens. [5] [6]
The North American Butterfly Association deemed the garden a butterfly habitat and the National Wildlife Federation has designated it a certified wildlife habitat. As part of this certification, the gardens have taken a pledge to be chemical and pesticide-free. [7] Over the years the gardens have planted thousands of milkweed plants, the host plant for the monarch butterfly. A large part of the Jungle Garden is dedicated to the creation of a sub-tropical food forest which creates habitat for butterflies and birds.
The gardens have seventeen different zones. [8]
Below is a list of artists and their work(s) featured in the gardens.
