TOLEDO, Ohio — Roses are red, violets are blue... come learn more about both at the Toledo Zoo!
The Toledo Zoo is inviting you to to brush up on your gardening skills and grow that green thumb.
The zoo is offering a Garden Tour Series guided by a member of the horticulture staff. Discussion will surround different gardening topics, including growing tips and best management practices that can be applied to home gardens as well. It will familiarize guests with the zoo's expansive gardens and grounds and how plants and flowers change throughout the seasons.
The tours will meet in front of Ziems Conservatory 15 minutes before starting and will last 90 minutes, rain or shine. Guests should dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes, since the tours may cover the entire zoo.
