The excitement is building.
“Tell us more about this garden coming to our area,” exclaims one curious gardener.
“I want details,” demands a local businessman.
“My imagination is running wild,” adds a grandmother who never takes off her gardener’s hat.
So, let’s delve into one of the most anticipated features of this new botanical haven.
Among the vibrant paths that will weave through this new botanical garden, the red pathway stands out as a beacon of beauty and energy. This path leads visitors into the Terrace Garden, also known as the Promenade, the first garden that greets you as you enter.
The Terrace Garden is more than just an entrance – it’s a grand welcome, with ribbons of seasonal red hues and inviting benches that line the way.
Designed as a gathering place, it’s where family and friends can meet before exploring the rest of the garden. Beyond its role as a gathering spot, the Terrace Garden is set to become the stage for seasonal parades, lively events, and stylish fashion shows. Picture an evening under the stars, where guests are seated on the lower terrace, captivated by the creations of local designers and the elegance of models walking the red-themed runway. Or, the scene of a lively doggie dress-up parade where proud pet owners showcase their costumed companions.
The possibilities for events in this walkway are endless.
As visitors stroll along the red pathway, they will enter a grove filled with red Standard, Semi-dwarf, and Dwarf fruit and nut trees. This lush grove will not only add to the garden’s natural beauty but also offer a tranquil space for reflection and enjoyment.
Further along the path lies La Villita, where The Villa awaits, a charming, rentable space with a pavilion that can host up to 200 guests. This versatile event space is perfect for weddings, celebrations, gatherings, and special events, making it a cornerstone of the garden’s community offerings.
The red pathway of the El Paso Children’s Garden is more than just a path; it’s an experience – a journey through nature’s vibrant palette, offering moments of joy, connection, and inspiration.
El Paso deserves a botanical garden as much as any city, and we can’t wait for this beautiful destination to become a reality.
Gardening, happy moments, and family time: all of this and more will be enjoyed in this special place.
