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.

“Growing things in Utah is very different than in Taiwan…”

– Cerra Teng, Founder of Utah Gardening and Cultivate.

Hi, I’m Cerra — a designer by profession and a gardener by passion. My first attempt at gardening was a complete failure, which led me down a rabbit hole of books, Utah State University resources, and countless YouTube videos. Along the way, I noticed many people in the Utah Gardeners Facebook group shared the same confusion and frustration. Gardening in Utah truly requires a different kind of care than in other states. 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.
