Louisville Zoo extends Zoo Poopy Doo and mulch sale
(May 17 and 24 dates added)

 

Because of overwhelming response, the Louisville Zoo horticulture department has extended its spring Zoo Poopy Doo and mulch sales, adding Saturdays May 17 and 24.

You can purchase the quality hardwood bark mulch and Zoo Poopy Doo (which is made especially by our animals at the Zoo!) from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on May 17 and 24. Make your purchases at the ticket windows (in front of the Zoo entrance gates) and then collect your mulch or Zoo Poopy Doo in the Zoo’s bus parking lot.

 

Mulch:  $22.50 per load for small pick-up truck  
                $35 per load for medium to full size pick-up truck
 

Zoo Poopy Doo:  $30 per bobcat scoop 

 

Zoo Poopy Doo is a rich compost mixture comprised of Zoo hoof stock manure (like elephant, rhino, camels and giraffe), hay, straw and wood shavings. It improves the aeration of the soil and increases root penetration and water retention, which reduces crusting of the soil surface. Mulch helps reduce weeds and retains moisture. Proof of the effectiveness of these two products is evident from all the healthy botanicals at the Zoo.
