Work Days The
Horticulture department has set up scheduled "Work Days" for
eager gardeners to come out to the Zoo and help maintain landscape
beds. The second Saturday of every month, weather permitting, from 8
a.m. to Noon is designated as a "Work Day". Below are some of
the duties Work Day Volunteers would be performing:
-
Planting trees, shrubs, annuals,
perennials, blubs, tropical plants, etc. with shovels,
nursery spades and hand trowels.
-
Mulching plant beds or playground
surfaces using pitchforks, scoop levels, rakes and wheel
barrows.
-
Assist with trimming or removing
trees, shrubs, bamboo and ornamental grasses.
-
Watering plants with hoses,
sprinklers, tanks or watering cans.
-
Racking and picking up leaves, limbs
and other debris.
-
Removing weeds by hand or with a
nursery spade.
