GRAND OPENING FOR CENTRAL UTAH GARDEN

Since we desert dwellers seem to have this love affair with green grass and lush lawns, it should be mandatory for all home owners to pay a visit to the newly opened Central Utah Gardens, just off the University Parkway in Orem.

Built by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, this incredibly well thought out Garden is the perfect place to come and learn how to save more precious drops of water while creating a beautiful landscape at home or the office.

Along with the tall grasses and native plants, there are wonderful displays featuring plants that do well in the shade…or the hot Utah sun. There are two miniature model homes, each featuring different landscapes…one which conserves water, and the other??? Not so much! You need to learn more about water sprinklers? There’s a great demonstration area for that. And so much more…get the picture? If you need advice, Megan Guenther, the conservation horticulturalist, and her staff, will be happy to show you around and answer your questions.
Central Utah Garden has a great layout that makes it easy to get around…identify plants…and get ideas you can take home for your own landscaping project. If you are disabled, don’t worry. The walkways and ramps make Central Utah Garden accessible to you too!

So if it’s time to start saving water in your yard…first, watch Joy Bossi’s Water Wise segments Sundays on ABC4’s Hot Homes of Utah. Then, come visit the Central Utah Gardens in Orem. And that my friends…is how to have joy in YOUR garden!
