Services · Native Plant Gardens
Plant what already grows on the bench.
A native plant garden uses species from the Great Basin and Wasatch foothills, so it survives Salt Lake winters, July heat and clay soil on little or no supplemental water once established. We design and plant them for color from April through October.
