Zoo Mulch and Compost Sales

You can purchase quality hardwood bark mulch and Zoo Poopy Doo (which is made especially by our animals at the Zoo!) from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Saturday in April. Zoo Poopy Doo is a rich compost mixture comprised of Zoo hoof stock manure (like elephant, rhino, camels and giraffe), hay, straw and wood shavings.

Make your purchases at the ticket windows (in front of the Zoo entrance gates) and then collect your mulch or compost in the Zoo’s bus parking lot.

  Mulch:

$22.50 per load for small pick-up truck

   

$35.00 per load for medium to full size pick-up truck

  Compost:

$30 per bobcat scoop 

Compost improves the aeration of the soil, increases root penetration and water retention, which reduces crusting of the soil surface.  Whereas mulch helps reduce weeds and retains moisture. Proof of the effectiveness of these two produces is evident from the healthy botanicals at the Zoo.
