Mesker Park Zoo sells hundreds of unique plants

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Hundreds of unique plants were for sale at Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville over the weekend.

The Bloomin’ Zoo Plant Sale and Arts Festival also featured more than 30 local art vendors.

“We offer a variety of unique things that you don’t always find at the local nurseries,” said Botanical Curator Misty Minar.

The zoo’s botanics department has been busy growing the plants that were available to buy.

“It’s been a great weekend. The weather held up this year. So, it was a beautiful weekend. We also had our art sale going on throughout the rest of the zoo. So it really was a good festival and a good, good weekend for the plant sale,” said Minar.

The next big event will be Zoo Brew on June 8 , which is for guests 21 and over.

The after-hours event will feature tastings of wine and craft beers.
