Virginia
Barnyard
At
the Virginia Zoo, old fashioned heirloom varieties stand, climb
and sprawl proudly with their contemporary counterparts. Tough,
drought-tolerant, disease-resistant beauties are the only candidates
for this practical garden. In summer a choir of sunflowers sing
"Welcome" to guests while in winter the pansies, violas
and winter kales finish the chorus.
