Adopt a plant or zoo habitat
A plant or zoo habitat adoption is a unique gift that helps conservation too!
It doesn’t just have to be a gift for someone else, why not treat yourself? By adopting a plant, your money will make a real contribution to Paignton Zoo’s vital conservation work.

Plant adoption gift packs
If you really want to get involved then this is the ideal option. These special packs include seeds for plants that are being used to develop the look and feel of the Zoo’s habitat zones for you to create your own habitat at home.
Choose from:
- Mediterranean mix and establish a drought tolerant garden – low maintenance but high impact
