Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - I love the Puerto Vallarta Garden Club! These dedicated volunteers plant hundreds of trees and flowering plants in the Romantic Zone and El Centro. It's all done on a volunteer basis and through donations.

Every year they do throw big Gala to raise money. This year's theme was a Fiesta Azul and everyone was dressed in blue. It was a SOLD OUT event. We love going to the party and it's held at Oscar's Restaurant on the Isla Rio Cuale.

The Gala always starts with a silent auction and cocktail party that includes passed hors d'oeuvres (I loved the ceviche on tostadas and especially the Conchinita Pibil they served this year!) Of course there was also live music by Us Two (currently performing at Act II Stages), and a bar serving beer, wine, sangria and margaritas!

Dinner was a delicious salad with lettuce, pears and feta cheese. The entrée was a perfectly cooked filet... and there was chocolate for dessert. There was live entertainment throughout dinner with some of Vallarta's BEST musicians, including The Palm Cabaret's Amy Armstrong, Piel Canela and Kim Kuzma.

Puerto Vallarta Garden Club offers 4 different levels of membership and plenty of opportunities to dig in the dirt! This is a wonderful organization that gives back to our community. I encourage everyone to join their ongoing efforts to Beautify Vallarta!
