Located across from the bird of prey exhibit at Mesker Park Zoo on Evansville’s north side, the MPZBG Family Garden is intended to provide an interactive learning experience for both adults and children. The garden showcases the use of plants and garden features that are low maintenance, non-invasive and conserve natural resources. Planned activities for 2010 include planting a Children’s “Animal” Plant Garden and a native plant garden, as well as installing a solar-powered bubbling rock fountain. The team is also working (with assistance from the MPZBG Botanic Curator) to prepare a five-year development plan for the remainder of the site.
