Horticultural Partners Program

Interested in trying new plant releases and varieties not generally offered in our area? Join the Horticultural Partners Program!

Purchase an HPP plant at the Annual Plant Sale this Memorial Day to participate in this information sharing program. Three times over the course of the year, our Horticulture Curator will send participants a brief email survey to learn more about your growing conditions and how the new plants are doing. The Zoo’s horticulture staff will also be trialing these plants and the results of our collective input will be compiled and shared.

Our goal is to share experience and understanding of these new plants between our zoo horticulture staff and local gardeners, while adding diversity to our local plant pallets.

HPP plants can be purchased on line or at the plant sale. We have limited quantities of all of our plants, so get them while they last!
