MGC ZOO COMMITTEE IN SEARCH OF TROPICAL PLANTS FOR TROPICAL GARDEN IN
ZOO GREENHOUSE
Do you have a tropical house plant that is overgrown and no longer fits in your house? (I have a parlor palm that is taking over my living room!) Please think of donating your overgrown treasure to the MGC Zoo Committee.
After creating the Children’s Garden last year, we have been asked by Joe Clausen, new Zoo Director, to help turn the nearby greenhouse, built last year also, into a Tropical Habitat for tours by school children. The new Tropical Habitat will illustrate how plants are one of the necessary elements for animals, in this case lizards, to live successfully.
If you have one of those overgrown favorites, committee members will work with you to arrange a convenient time when we can pick up your plant donation.
Below is a list of plants needed to help create this unique display:
Agave
Avocado Tree
Bird of Paradise Plant (strelitzia)
Black Bamboo
Bougainvillea
Bromeliad, any type
Citrus tree
Croton (codiseum)
Dracena
Eschaveria
Hawaiian Tree Fern (cilistium)
Hibiscus, Chinese
Kalanchoe
Monstera
Orchids
Passion Flower
Philodendron, any type
Pineapple Plant
Sheffelera
Shrimp Plant
Staghorn Fern
Zebra Plant
To donate a plant and arrange a time when it can be picked up, or if you have questions, please phone:
