HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

This formal display garden features a beautiful Victorian style gazebo with elegant brick walkways leading in from 3 sides. On one side a perennial border with palms provides a backdrop for the roses; two other sides are set off by mature large-flowered magnolias underplanted with English ivy.

To protect the health of the zoo's animals and visitors alike, the roses are grown completely organically. Clippings are collected in special barrels so they can be fed to the animals. Varieties have been chosen for their disease resistance and generous bloom and include both antique and modern shrub roses. A visitor can expect to see roses not often seen in the usual rose section of a botanical garden.
