We meet the fourth wednesday of the month in the evening and have 225 members. We would most likely follow this up with a field trip to the collections. I am looking at August for the talk and need 3 months lead time for press publications.

An amazing and awesome undertaking! Your dedication and care of all of these beautiful and rare plants is honored by us all. Whenever I go to the Zoo I of course love seeing all of the precious animals but it is the trees and plants and gardens that bring back all of my wonderful memories. I first visited the Zoo in my stroller in the 1940's and I remember seeing my first eucalyptus trees and hearing my first peacock call. Both of these through the years have brought me back into my memories of my childhood. Now, seeing the incredible growth and diversity of all of the landscaping and gardens and pathways and the different habitats all I can say is THANK YOU! Because of your hard work and care the Zoo is a beautiful and wondrous place. I hope everyone is able to read the great article in ZooNooZ about how the botanicals at the Zoo have changed over the years. Keep up the good work! Blessed Be with Love, Judy J Wow!

It's great to have a group of people/gardeners who care about each and every one of those plants. Many of those plants are very rare and beautiful. This care and attention will payoff when they go into the new Elephant Odyssey. Good job, LIMS What a major project!

Like so many other zoo regulars I've been very aware of the boxed plants and can't wait to see them in their wonderful new digs. I do like the new small garden at the top of Cat Canyon and was especially happy to have the caudiciform display case back where we can see it again. I hope you are keeping the Madagascar garden intact; it's so special! Now, if we could only get into the construction site to visit our beloved and sadly missed giraffes! I hope their new temporary enclosure will be finished soon. Mike, thanks so much for the information.
