When I was a little one of my outings was going to the zoo. .
*~*The petting farm was always a favorite stop. *~*
Gardeners can create their own zoo in the landscape. There is a variety of annual and perennial
flowers that have an animal names. You will not have to worry about these residents escaping or chewing on your clothing.
- For a sunny site consider planting butterfly flower, oxeye, monkey flower, cockscomb and toad flax. These plants all have warm, brightly colored blooms.
- In a shadier site in the landscape, group together cowslip, cranesbill, dog-tooth violet, toad lily and turtlehead. The flowers on these plants have cool color shades that blend well together.
- Once your new garden is completed, pack up a picnic lunch and visit the zoo in your own
backyard.
