The president of the International Peace Garden Foundation, Paula Savage, recently announced that the Peace Garden project at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens (located 40 minutes away from Puerto Vallarta) has been selected to be honored with the International Peace Garden 2017 recognition. The project is currently under construction and will be located at the entrance of the Nuestra Señora del Jardín (Our Lady of the Garden) chapel in the Gardens.

Savage commented that Puerto Vallarta is a leading tourism destination in Mexico, recognized for its respect for the diversity of cultures and human rights, and the International Peace Garden Foundation hopes to work side by side with Puerto Vallarta in order to promote world peace and friendship.

Vallarta Botanical Gardens executive director Neil Gerlowski explained that the Peace Garden will feature plants of the Mediterranean and the Holy Land, along with Mexican wildflowers. Its design will also include ornamental terraces and access ramps for disabled people. The project is expected to be completed by February 2017. The Vallarta Botanical Gardens is currently accepting tax-deductible donations for the project from Mexico, Canada and United States. For more information, please visit www.vbgardens.com.

“Vallarta Lifestyles is the number one magazine of its type in Vallarta · Nayarit. We were the first ones to advertise, because we saw it as an ideal platform to show our properties. The result? For a long time it has generated an extraordinary quantity of clients. Now in addition to that, it contributes to the positioning of our brand.”

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."
