Herbaceous and Bedding Plants

The zoo has for many years been justly famous for its stunning bedding displays. This is still true today although as we strive to create more naturalistic plant displays to compliment our animals the areas of bedding has gradually being reduced.

It is intended to keep the main bedding displays in front of the Oasis Shop for many years to come, and we hope the public will continue to enjoy them. Herbaceous plants are a very versatile and colourful group of plants. We plan to increase the range and variety of herbaceous species used in the Zoo. Probably the best place to see examples of these is around Europe on the Edge and the Dragons in Danger garden.
