Welcome to the Gardens!
ZooMontana is home to over ten beautiful gardens that are a compliment to the zoo environment welcoming people, young and old, to enjoy the color and awaken the senses! The ZooMontana Botanical Society works the entire growing season to fill our gardens with a variety of plants so there are always different blooms to enjoy. Our sensory garden provides a tranquil space for weddings, yoga, and more. Check out our events page to learn more about how to have your event in the Sensory Garden!

Volunteer Gardeners Since 1994
The beautiful gardens at ZooMontana Botanical Park are maintained by over 50 volunteer gardeners, known as the ZooMontana Botanical Society. Gardeners care for over ten gardens, April thru October, weather permitting. Most work Monday and/or Thursday mornings, when there is a snack break. Gardeners also participate in monthly meetings and group projects that often take them throughout the zoo grounds.
Since plants require attention to thrive, gardeners make commitments to volunteer on a consistent basis. Abilities range from novice to Master Gardener. Volunteer Gardener Benefits include:
- Free ZooMontana Membership
- Wild Side Gift Shop Discount
- Social Get-Togethers
- Animal Encounters
- Volunteer Recognition and Awards
- Fresh Air, Sunshine, Exercise, and Fun!
