ZOO POOPY DOO!

Plan now for the Louisville Zoo’s April mulch & compost sale

Be sure to mark April 5, 12, 19 and 26 on your calendar. That is when the Louisville Zoo will host its first Zoo Poopy Doo sales of the year.

You can purchase 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. every Saturday in April. 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.

Make your purchases at the ticket windows (in front of the Zoo entrance gates) and then collect your mulch or compost 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

Compost      $30 per bobcat scoop 

Compost improves the aeration of the soil, 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.
