Woods Rose, Utah native plant

This one’s going out to all the local green thumbs — the Utahns who want beautiful gardens that actually thrive in the West. Our guest says it’s totally possible.

Daryl Lindsey has a special talent. She can take a look at your yard and, very quickly, conceive of a landscape filled with native plants arranged in just the right way for your space — plants that can tolerate the big swings in climate that we have between seasons in Utah. It’s all about balancing her clients’ dreams with the realities of growing in the West. She’s joining us to talk about her story, how to tune up your garden and become attuned to the local climate — and, no, you don’t have to xeriscape. But Lindsey does say this: Think of the story you want your garden to tell, and tell it with native plants.
