April 17th - April Showers Bring May Flowers *Sold Out - Waitlist Available*
Oh snapdragon! This month we're emphazing the "gardens" part of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. During this workshop we will learn about the ins and outs of plants and gardening. First we'll stroll through the all of our amazing gardens to find out about some of the fun and unique plants we have here at the Zoo. We'll spend some "thyme" discovering and learning about the most popular plants native to Florida and our area. A little gardening of our own and a visit from some garden friendly animal amabassadors will leaf you feeling so fresh and so green.
