The Toronto Zoo is about much more than just animals! You may be surprised to know that the Zoo's plant collection is even more extensive than its animal collection. The programs developed in the Horticulture Unit include conservation studies of endangered plants and habitats and an international seed exchange. They are also involved in restoration ecology, wetland and meadow creation, and forest recovery projects that occur on and off site.
