LONGITUDINAL SUSTAINABILITY
By helping to preserve our native landscape, we are helping to preserve our biodiverse heritage and support an exceptional water-conserving way of life.
Water is a precious commodity that requires precision planning in order for longitudinally sustainable use. We specialize and promote the role native plants play in being well-adapted landscaping options while also advocating native plant preservation as a way to conserve water and sustain drought-tolerant native forests in the Southern Utah desert climate.
Let's utilize our native desert plants!
We believe being green without turf in the desert is a community effort, and support water saving measures that also preserve animal and plant biodiversities.
DESERT COMMUNITIES
Following in nature's footsteps, we aim to cultivate colorful desert landscapes in our backyards, parks, and throughout our communities using education, providing access to native plant information, acquiring native plants themselves, and supporting an understanding of the water cycle in desert biomes.
"The biggest drawback to planting native plants as landscaping options is that the public overwaters them." Rick Heflebower, USU-Washington County Extension (Horticulture Extension Agent)
Native desert plantlife helps sustain our sensitive desert ecosystem's biodiversity. Alongside humans, many species of insect, arachnid, mammal, bird, and reptile rely on these desert plants in order to survive.
