Sego Lily Gardens / Water Wise Landscapes

Sego Lily Gardens first opened in August of 1999. The Garden is one of the first demonstration gardens along the Wasatch Front to emphasize low-water use plants and landscaping. At Sego Lily Gardens our mission is to show how water wise techniques can be used outdoors by the right plant selection, efficient irrigation practices, and good landscape management.

At the gardens there are a large variety of drought tolerant plants, including trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, groundcovers and vines. These plants are used in various ways to show different examples of low water use landscapes. Plants native to Utah are used at Sego Lily Gardens so we can learn more about plants that are already adapted to our local environment. Different types of drip irrigation systems are utilized at the gardens to show alternative ways for irrigation of non-turf areas.

To learn more about ways to be water wise, come by Sego Lily Gardens to pick-up a variety of informational handouts on water conservation. During the summer someone will usually be on staff during the day to answer horticultural and water conservation questions. Sego Lily Gardens is located at 1472 East Sego Lily Drive (10200 South). It is open from Spring through Fall. For more information about Sego Lily Gardens, or if interested in volunteering, please call 568-6087.
