What is Zoo Horticulture?
Zoo horticulture sets the stage for guests and residents of the Zoo. We create naturalistic habitats for exotic and native animals. We design, grow and plant themed gardens, and we provide fresh plant treats for animals. Most visitors come to the Virginia Zoo with animals on their minds, but plants are the first thing they see.
