"Located at Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo, the tree container nursery is the first phase of a nursery plan."

A container nursery will allow the Keep Monroe Beautiful, Public Works Department Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo, Parks and Recreation Department, and volunteer organizations to work cooperatively to successfully grow and plant an increased number of strong and healthy trees on public lands throughout the city.

Future goals are to expand the Green Station to include composting using zoo manure and install a green house to allow propagation of plants.
