The Alta Vista Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden located in Vista, California, United States.[1]

History

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]

This is the complete Master Plan for Alta Vista Botanical Gardens that was approved by the board of the gardens and subsequently submitted to the city of Vista in the fall of 2013.

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.

Gardens

The gardens have seventeen different zones.[8]
