Golden Fronted Woodpecker The current Owner takes great pride in the natural native garden, which contains coconut palms, avocados, mangoes, limes and banana trees, and the fact that no trees were cut down during the construction which was completed in August 2007. The garden was designed to preserve and attract the local wild-life with many different species of native birds and myriad of butterflies making their home there.
