Alta Vista Botanical Gardens

The Alta Vista Botanical Gardens are designated ecological landscapes containing collections of plants native to areas around the globe.
They are designed to both educate and inspire visitors.
They consist of roughly 14 acres of various garden sections.
Started in 1999, Alta Vista Botanical Gardens (AVBG) is located inside of the old Smitgen property, which once occupied a 16-acre site in the heart of Brengle Terrace Park in Vista.
