Conserve Southwest Utah

PARADE OF GARDENS SOUTHERN UTAH presented by Conserve Southwest Utah

September 19, 20, and 21, 2024

Join us for the Parade of Gardens Southern Utah, a showcase of local gardens revealing the beauty and endless possibilities of water-wise landscapes as we strive to build a water conservation culture!

Presented by local non-profit Conserve Southwest Utah in collaboration with the Washington County Water Conservancy District, Parade of Gardens Southern Utah is a unique opportunity to demonstrate the connection between watershed resilience and desert livability.

Our goal is to:

• Celebrate beautiful, water-smart gardens. We will feature stunning landscapes that save water and protect the Virgin River Watershed.

• Encourage collaboration. We are partnering with conservationists, water experts, landscapers, nurseries, and property owners, because a strong water conservation culture needs all of us.

• Transform “lawn to lush”. We understand that xeriscaping is so much more than cactus and rocks, it is also about turning lawns into flourishing, vibrant spaces capable of supporting thriving desert life.

• Nurture the desert ecosystem. We’ll help create inviting areas around homes and businesses that also protect the local desert environment.

• Embrace inclusivity. We’re working to ensure that everyone has equitable access to resources to create their own sustainable gardens. We want to highlight and share diverse landscape ideas for all budgets.

CALLING ALL LANDSCAPE ENTHUSIASTS!
