Zoo Lily Garden

The MRLS lily garden at the Detroit Zoo has been completely redesigned and planted with five different lilies. The design and new lilies were carefully chosen by an MRLS member, Bonnie Krueger. The purpose of this work is to enhance the appearance throughout the lily season. In 2012 a carousel was added at the Zoo. It is just a short distance from the lily garden, bringing more people into the area. How nice it will be to better show off the beauty of lilies to a new audience.
The old bulbs were dug up on September 21st and 22nd, 2013 by members of MRLS. The old bulbs were distributed first to any of the diggers who want some and then the remainder were used in conjunction with the 2012 MRLS Bulb Sale last October.
