Daryl Lindsey Says You Can Build a Thriving Utah Yard — and Save Water Doing It

RadioWest/KUER

Daryl Lindsey is a sustainable landscaping expert. With spring here, and a worrisome winter in the rearview, she joins us to talk about this year’s growing season.

Saving water is top of mind for Lindsey and many of her clients right now. That means rainwater collection — and you’d be surprised just how much water you can save, even during a drought. We’re talking thousands of gallons. Part of the problem, says Lindsey, is education: People just don’t know how much their yards can thrive, given a little know-how and some native, climate-appropriate plants. It’s about creating a landscape that’s in harmony with nature rather than fighting against it. If that’s the kind of yard you’d like to cultivate, tune in for the conversation.
