Sego Lily Gardens

Sego Lily Gardens, winner of Best of State Utah 2011 for their conservation efforts, is sited on 2.5 acres in the heart of Sandy, surrounded by residential homes and is one of the first demonstration gardens along the Wasatch Front to emphasize low-water use plants and landscaping. They have done an outstanding job of displaying plants native to Utah and the staff is very informative and eager to answer any questions. I went with the idea of learning what plants are already adapted to our local environment and I was not disappointed.

On display are a large variety of drought tolerant plants, including trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, groundcovers and vines. The gardens are simply beautiful and every plant is clearly identified.

There are over 1,100 plants at Sego Lily Gardens and different types of irrigation systems. Overall it was a very informative visit and I encourage everyone to make plans to see what you too can learn on water conservation techniques and what plants are best adapted to our climate.
