NEW Zoo
Children's Pond and Garden Plan Revealed
August 2009 - Our award winning
landscape architect, Jeremy J. Kox, worked directly with zoological director,
Neil Anderson to re-create a native horticultural garden and redesign the
existing "concrete pond" to accept native vegetation and create a natural biota
for the fish and wildlife. Blooms were selected to attract butterflies and
seed bearing plants to attract songbirds. The ponds will be stcked with
native water lilies, flag iris, and watercress to provide shade and nourishment
for the fish and aquatic species. All-in-all, this project will enhance
the area and add new educational opportunities for the children to participate
in while at the zoo.
If you are interested in helping fund
this wonderful educational project, please contact
Mr. Neil Anderson at the
NEW Zoo. Any additional funding will help get this project closer to the
project installation goal of $40,000. Naming rights are available, please
enquire for details.

Installation Team. This year, we have expanded on this synergy by
bringing Erik Nelson and his

already begun
strengthening our already impeccable installations and we look forward to
integrating his organizational skills and vision as our Project Manager.
