Understand the nature and utilize what we have
Utah’s climate and environment are unique in their own way. It took us years of reading, asking questions, observing, and experimenting to learn what really works here. Our goal is to make that knowledge easier to access — distilled into clear, practical information you can actually use.
“Gardening teaches me how to work with nature.”
– Cerra Teng, Founder of Utah Gardening and Cultivate.
Hi, I’m Cerra — a designer by profession and a gardener by passion. I didn’t grow up gardening in Taiwan, so my first attempt at gardening in Utah was a complete failure, which led me down a rabbit hole of books, USU extension, etc. Learning experience can be overwhelming. That’s why I decided to create a website dedicated to Utah’s unique growing environment — a visual, easy-to-understand resource to help others learn faster and grow with confidence.
I’m also a believer in sharing extra produce and reducing food waste so I created Cultivate – a gardening platform where everyone can share, sell or trade seeds, plants, produce or preserve. Come join us!
