In another development, the Zoo Park has continued to demonstrate its innovative approach to sustainability and green initiatives, with a fresh harvest of vegetables made recently. It marked the second bountiful harvest from the Zoo’s ornamental garden, managed by the Park’s gardener, Mr. Daniel Sunday.

Members of staff eagerly purchased the fresh produce, ensuring a healthy addition to their weekend meals. Not only did the humans enjoy the harvest, but zoo animals were also treated to some of the fresh vegetables, a testament to the abundance cultivated.
