Hoping for a great big, steaming pile of ‘Zoo Doo‘ for your garden this fall? You have until this Friday, September 23 to submit a postcard to the Woodland Park Zoo for their Fall Fecal Fest.
You can also get Bedspread, “A composted mulch made from the manures and bedding of the zoo’s non-primate herbivores. Bedspread is like Zoo Doo but contains higher amounts of wood chips and sawdust. It is excellent fertile mulch for perennial beds and woody landscapes such as native gardens, rose beds, shrubs, tree rings or pathways, and is an ideal mulch and soil builder for Northwest gardens.”
Here’s how to submit your postcard:
Only one postcard per person is eligible for the drawing. Phone orders will not be taken. Send a standard postcard to Zoo Doo, Woodland Park Zoo, 601 N. 59th St., Seattle, WA 98103. Include the following information:
- Name
- Day/evening phone numbers
- Preference: Zoo Doo or Bedspread
- Amount of Zoo Doo or Bedspread you’d like to purchase (anything from a garbage bag to a full-size pick-up truck load)
- Weekday or weekend preference for pick-up
Entry cards will be randomly selected according to supply and demand. Dr. Doo will contact the lucky drawn entries only. The Fecal Fest traditionally sells out, but the next one will be held in March for the spring.
The lucky winners load the compost, using shovels provided by the zoo. For more information, visit the Woodland Park Zoo’s Fecal Fest page by clicking here. You can also send email to [email protected] or call the Zoo Doo Poopline: 206-625-7667.
