Favorite viveros in La Paz/Centenario
WooHoo!
11/30 I'm officially retired, or should I say reborn. Now I'll finally be able to spend more time at my casita.
One of my first projects is a garden design. I have a favorite vivero in Centenario, but I'd like to expand my horizons.
Suggestions?
Dana

What timing for your question. I just went to a new for me place yesterday. I can't remember the name of the street but if you go up the Libremento
by Walmart, make a left at the light just where the "Libre" becomes a two-way. (like you are heading to Ley's). There are two nurseries on your left.
Great prices compared to elsewhere. I got two hybiscus', two gardenias and a philodendrum for about $30 US.
More importantly, Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. I pulled the plug six months ago and haven't looked back. I love being retired and
being able to spend much more time in LP.
In Memory of E-57

Consider seeds and cuttings, more fun and affordable. there is no need to be paying $10-30 per plant, there is an organic garden in La Ribera which
has seeds and I understand there is one in Centanario or just past on the right heading north... otherwise all the viveros are great but you need one
where you have a friend.

Hi Alan - thanks for the info. I pass those viveros all the time - the shrimp guy is right there - but I hadn't stopped in. I'll check them out.

Ive tried most and for me the one in Centenario is the best.
Strive For The Ideal, But Deal With What\'s Real.
Every day is a new day, better than the day before.(from some song)
Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
“The sincere pursuit of truth requires you to entertain the possibility that everything you believe to be true may in fact be false”

I like Sergio in Centenario as well - but he is also the most expensive

I would love to get some cuttings from you - but La Paz is a bit far for a casual drive
