I'm Sara. My dream of starting a native plant nursery began as a small idea in 2020 when my husband and I landscaped our yard. Following the principles of Localscapes, we significantly reduced the amount of turf grass in our yard and had every intention of planting native plants in our newly expanded garden beds. But after visiting multiple nurseries, I was stunned to find almost none.

At first I thought maybe I was mistaken - that Utah didn't have plants worthy of putting in my yard. Instead, I discovered hundreds of incredible wildflowers, ornamental grasses and shrubs. 

Once I finally found some native plants at the University of Utah's semi-annual native plant sale, I realized we have an incredibly diverse ecosystem in Utah and just because a plant is native to Utah does not mean it is going to thrive in my yard.

My goal in starting this nursery simple: to make it much, much easier for the average Utahn to find and grow native plants. These plants were here first and if you can identify the right plants for your setting, you shouldn't have to work quite so hard to keep them alive! Many native plants require less water and fertilizer, are less prone to disease and pests and provide vital support our ecosystem.

I am passionate about native plants and still have a lot more to learn. I'm excited to have you with me on this journey as we rediscover the beauty of our native Utah landscape - and bring it home.
