Shrubs, outdoor plants and trees work together to bring life and beauty to our landscapes.
 
Unfortunately, many types of outdoor plants used in Northern Utah require lots of water, fertilizers and tending. Ornamental grasses are a great alternative, requiring much less care than other species. Even better, these delightful plants require few resources and exert minimal impact on the environment.
 
Ornamental Grasses Are the Greenest of Outdoor Plants
 
Ranging in height from six inches to 14 feet, you can choose from a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and foliage types. The require very little fertilization or pest control, and most are considered low-water-use outdoor plants, appropriate for xeriscaping.
 
Because these grasses can be used in almost any landscaping application – including groundcover and borders – they provide shelter and shade for a variety of desirable native wildlife and beneficial insects.
 
Pampas Grass and Ornamentals Require Little Care
 
If you choose the perennial type of ornamental, they will brighten your yard for many years with minimal effort on your part.
 
Typically, these outdoor plants require no pruning or trimming (unless you care to create specific shapes). Most can be divided as well, once they begin to grow outward from the perimeter, so you can easily and economically expand them throughout your yard.
 
The Utah State University Extension lists 70 different varieties of ornamental grass that grow well in our area, including feather reed, fountain and velvet grass. Most of these are hardy through the winter but, for those that die off, simply cut the dead foliage back in the spring.
 
How to Add Ornamental Grasses to Your Landscape
 
We love our green lawns here in Northern Utah. They’re beautiful to behold and they help keep your home cooler during the summer. Unfortunately, they require tons of maintenance, chemicals and water.
 
You don’t have to give up on your turf entirely, but why not consider switching some of it out for ornamental grasses?
 
If you have bare spots or patchy areas that are difficult to keep green, add a few ornamentals to the area instead. They will fill in the bare spots and provide visual interest.
 
In your outdoor plant beds, replace some of your annual flowers with pampas or other grass plants. Be sure to choose plants that are appropriate for the amount of sunlight and space they will have available, as some varieties can grow quite large.
 
Otherwise, simply choose your favorite colors, sizes and shapes and have fun!
 
Millcreek Gardens understands the importance of lowering the environmental impact of landscapes and gardens. At our expansive Salt Lake City garden center and greenhouse, we have tons of ideas for creating a lush, green landscape while cutting back on the need for water and chemicals.
 
Stop by and see us this weekend, and let us help you with all of your trees, flowers and outdoor plants.

When updating your landscaping, trees offer beauty, variety and an environmentally conscious boost.
 
Ornamental and shade trees are also a cost-conscious option for both your yard and garden. As we approach one of the best times of year to plant trees – the fall – it’s time to start planning.
 
The Many (Many) Benefits of Adding Trees to Your Landscaping
 
What could be more beautiful than a stately oak, lush blue spruce or delicate oriental cherry?
 
As beautiful as landscaping trees are, they bring many other benefits to our lives. They help lessen the heat island effect and purify the air. They offer shelter to native birds, attract pollinators and shade more delicate plants below.
 
Adding deciduous trees around your home or business provides shade during the heat of summer while allowing the warming sun in during the winter. This helps improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort while reducing power consumption – and the cost that goes along with it.
 
Choosing the Right Landscaping Trees for Your Location
 
Which type of trees should you select? This isn’t an easy choice, as our Northern Utah climate provides a friendly environment for hundreds of different varieties of landscaping trees.
 
The Utah State University Extension offers an exceptional tree browser site, which provides extensive descriptions, photos and growth details for almost 250 different species.
 
Nothing substitutes for expert advice, however. You can contact a landscape designer or architect for assistance. Or you can visit a local garden center – like Millcreek Gardens – were you can ask an experienced associate for guidance.
 
Siting and Planting Landscaping Trees
 
Whether you plan to add landscaping trees to your home or business, choosing the ideal location guarantees the best future for the plants and allows you to enjoy the maximum benefits. It also helps to minimize the time and effort you must invest in care and maintenance.
 
Once you’re determined where you would like to locate the new plantings, evaluate how much sun, wind, water and traffic the site will experience. Then choose the right size and species for the site.
 
Be sure you consider the future size and shape of the tree. The biggest mistake gardeners make is not providing enough space for the tree once it reaches full maturity. This means considering any overhead wires, nearby structures and other plants that could interfere with growth.
 
For more practical advice on the planting process, explore USU’s guide for planting landscape trees. In Salt Lake City, visit Millcreek Gardens for all of the expert advice and assistance you need for your landscaping and garden. We carry locally grown plants, shrubs and flowers along with gardening tools and supplies.
 
We look forward to seeing you soon, and assisting you with the selection of your new landscaping trees.

You might not believe that gardening supplies or equipment could help keep you safe when summer’s heat boils over, but they definitely can.
 
When the Northern Utah summer kicks into full swing, a variety of pitfalls awaits in your garden. To help keep you safe and healthy, the Millcreek Gardens team has assembled a list of our favorite protective gardening tools and equipment.
 
Gardening Tool Safety Tips
 
The American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) reports that more than 400,000
U.S. residents are treated in the emergency room each year for garden tool injuries.
 
You may already wear goggles to protect your eyes, along with sturdy shoes and long pants. But, if you’re like most of us, you may not reach for the gloves when using the gardening tools. Good gloves will protect your hands from splinters, blisters, chemicals and bites. But, more important, they can help prevent lacerations and punctures.
 
Choose gardening supplies and tools that fit your hand well. ASSH warns that molded tool handles and finger grips don’t fit every hand. If your hands are larger or smaller than the molded handle, you run the risk of developing orthopedic problems in your hands and arms.
 
Finally, always read the directions and safety instructions for all gardening supplies and tools.
 
Safety First with Gardening Equipment
 
Of course you wear your trusty wide-brimmed hat, close-toed shoes and sunscreen when you start to work on your outdoor plants, shrubs and trees (don’t you??). But consider taking a few other products out with you to protect yourself from harm.
 
Gardening Gloves. A sturdy pair of gloves will protect your hands from a variety of perils (see “Gardening Tool Safety Tips” above!). But they also shield your hands from the
damaging rays of the sun. If you plan to work with shrubs or landscaping trees that have thorns, choose a pair of gauntlet-style gardening gloves to protect your arms.
 
Garden Kneelers. Too much bending over for weeding, pruning or harvesting will take a toll on your back. Ergonomically, kneeling is preferable; however, kneeling on the bare ground can place undue stress on your tendons and joints. Invest in a good quality garden kneeler and your body will thank you.
 
Tool Carriers. No one wants to make six trips to the shed for tools, so we bring them all out at once. The next thing you know, you’re stepping on a rake. For long-handled garden tools, lean them up against something secure, rather than laying them on the ground. For hand tools – which either become lost or embedded in your foot – invest in a good tool carrier.
 
Not only will this keep you safe, but it will keep your tools within reach at all times. And, as a bonus, you can use the carrier to safely store your tools when not in use.
 
For even more gardening safety tips, you can check out the CDC’s gardening health and safety tips, or you can drop by Millcreek Gardens in Salt Lake City.
 
Millcreek Gardens is Northern Utah’s premier locally owned and operated garden center. We have all the plants, tools and advice to keep you safe all year long. Stop in today and let us help you choose the right tools and gardening supplies for the job.

Not that you need an excuse to putter with your outdoor plants, rose bushes and annual flowers, but did you know that gardening is a natural antidepressant?
 
Not only that, but working in the garden is a great stress reliever and, so the research tells us, it might actually make you smarter!
 
Gardening Soil Contains Beneficial Microbes
 
Mycobacterium vaccae, a specific type of microbe found in gardening soil, increases human serotonin levels when ingested. Serotonin is commonly known as the human happy chemical, preventing depression and strengthening the immune system.
 
Fortunately, you don’t have to eat dirt to experience its benefits.
 
While you work in the garden – whether you’re planting annual flowers or pruning your outdoor plants – these soil-borne microbes are released into the air around you. You inhale them as you work and a voila they get to work reducing your anxiety and stress. They can also access your body through topical contact with your skin.
 
Other studies have linked exposure to the m. vaccae microbes to an increase in learning ability. This research shows that the effects can last up to three weeks!
 
Harvesting Your Garden Increases Dopamine Levels
 
But wait, it gets better.
 
When you grow fruits and vegetables in addition to your other outdoor plants, you receive a dopamine boost every time you harvest. In fact, even seeing or smelling a fruit or vegetable that you’ve grown prompts your brain to release dopamine.
 
Named the “harvest high” by researchers, it is theorized that this chemical reaction developed originally in hunter-gatherer cultures as a reward for the discovery of life-sustaining foods in the wild.
 
Psychologists believe that we can harness this naturally-induced euphoria to change bad eating habits and increase cravings for healthy fruits and vegetables.
 
It’s Official: Gardeners Are Happier and Healthier
 
Even in your everyday life, gardening makes you a happier person overall.
 
Additional research determined that 80 percent of people who garden and grow outdoor plants report being happy and generally satisfied with their lives, while only 67 percent of non-gardeners report being content.
 
The researchers also discovered that working in the garden boosted both self-esteem and confidence levels. And, as a form of exercise, the study found that those who work on their outdoor plants exercise harder but perceive it to be easier than other types of workouts.
 
Here at Millcreek Gardens, we already know that gardening is the key to a healthier, happier life for you and your entire family. Gather up the family and stop by today for all of your annual and perennial flowers, rose bushes, shade trees and gardening supplies. Our helpful, friendly team is here to help you get started.
 
We know you’ll love how you feel after spending a little time in the garden, inhaling dirt and puttering with your outdoor plants.

In Utah, gardening tips typically involve which outdoor plants to use in our growth zone, or how to minimize weeds or insect damage.
 
At Millcreek Gardens, we often hear from customers who are plagued by garden damage as a result of neighborhood cats. Sometimes, the culprits are the gardener’s own furry feline friends.
 
You might be surprised to know that cats can provide a variety of benefits in your garden. By creating a cat-friendly space your yard, you can help mitigate garden and landscape damage while taking advantage of cats’ natural tendencies as a part of a natural pest-management strategy.
 
Gardening Tips from Your Cat
 
Yes, your cat may be prone to digging up your newly planted outdoor plants, vegetables and annual flowers. But for every little cat mound you find, it’s likely that Fluffy is taking care of some other problems on your behalf.
 
Cats are the natural enemy of mice, rats, voles and other rodents. Birds can also wreak havoc in your yard, feasting on your peaches, cherries and grass seed. With a cat on the job, however, these pesky pests will think twice before venturing into your yard.
 
Cat urine, as obnoxious as it can be, can also provide a source of nitrogen that facilitates the breakdown of your compost pile.
 
To reap the benefits – and minimize the damage – of cats in your garden, simply direct their energy where it will provide the greatest benefit.
 
Create an Irresistible Cat-Friendly Zone
 
You can leverage the benefits of having a cat around the yard while preserving your own precious plantings by creating a cat-friendly space in your garden.
 
Our first cat-friendly gardening tip is to set aside a small planting bed just for your feline friends. Choose a semi-shady spot, where cats can bask in the sun or seek shade on particularly warm days. Set out a fresh bowl of water each day, so Fluffy can stay hydrated through the warm summer months, and throw down an old outdoor chair cushion or bench to create a perfect napping spot.
 
Our next gardening tip involves cat-friendly outdoor plants.
 
Of course, catnip and catmint are the most popular options for keeping your favorite feline engaged. But cats also enjoy a variety of cat grasses as well as valerian. Be sure to also include some taller decorative grass species, because Fluffy will enjoy playing hide-and-seek – or simply rolling around in – the lush, cool grasses.
 
If you have indoor-only cats, cut some of these attractive outdoor plants to entertain your house-bound felines, and to prevent them from damaging your houseplants.
 
Gardening Tips for Discouraging Cat Damage
 
Now that you’ve established your own backyard cat haven, let’s look at some gardening tips for keeping Fluffy away from your precious bulbs and outdoor plants. Use these techniques also to keep cats away from those plants that are poisonous which include lantana, lilies, marigold, ivy and hydrangea.
 
Cats will avoid gravel ground cover or any type of mulch that might hurt Fluffy’s sensitive feet. Swirl some orange rinds and water in your blender and pour the mixture around the plants for a natural repellent that also discourages insects in your garden.
 
Finally, you can intermix sensitive plants with geranium, lemongrass or citronella to keep your feline friends away. Cats strongly dislike – and will avoid – the strong smell of these plants.

Do you dream of having a fresh herb garden, but you don’t have a practical spot for it in the yard? Or maybe you’re a condo or apartment dweller with no yard at all?
 
Fortunately, you can enjoy fresh herbs all summer long, even with limited space, by using pots and containers for your garden. And, if you’re so inclined, you can even add a pop of color by mixing in some annual flowers too.
 
Individual Container Herb Garden Ideas
 
If you enjoy giving each type of herb its own room to grow, plan your project with individual containers for each seedling. This also allows you to accommodate your herb garden in a small or irregularly shaped space.
 
Mason jars are perfect for this purpose but you can use almost any container that strikes your fancy. Small galvanized buckets are a cute way to go too. But, if you want a more budget-friendly approach, save your large (no. 10) food cans. Recruit the kids or grandkids to help make colorful labels, or print colorful photo labels to match your décor. You can also repurpose an old set of kitchen canisters, tea cups, or a collection of mismatched old shoes or boots for your container garden.
 
If you have an assortment of small terra cotta, ceramic or plastic flower pots, you can create a lovely indoor gardenscape. Paint your pots in coordinating colors or leave them as-is for a rustic feel. You can even use puff paints to write the names of each herb on the appropriate container.
 
Combine Your Herb Garden in Large Containers
 
If you have the room, combining different types of plants into one or more large pots or containers creates a visually appealing herb garden, especially when you add in a few annual flowers for color.
 
Many indoor gardeners prefer to use long, thin planters (think window box), because they provide maximum sun exposure for the herbs. If you plan to place your herb garden on the balcony or patio, consider using a container with wheels. This will make it easier for you to move your planter to catch the sun, or to hose down underneath.
 
For a more artsy look, use wooden wine or produce crates as planters and space them out along an indoor or outdoor bench.
 
Ensure Your Herb Garden’s Success with These Tips
 
The most important element for a successful container herb garden is sunlight.
 
Try to locate your plants in a spot that receives sunlight for most of the day, even if it’s indirect. Although many herbs will grow in artificial light, nothing beats the sun’s own rays for indoor planting success.
 
Ensure that all of your containers have ample drainage, as well as a tray or saucer to catch the drainage. Be sure to empty any standing water promptly to discourage mosquitoes or bacteria growth. If you choose a container without a drainage hole, place several rocks in the bottom prior to adding potting soil. But water sparingly to avoid accumulating too much moisture in the bottom.
 
Finally, use a good potting soil blend that has plenty to vermiculite or another draining-inducing component. Herbs don’t do well when their roots sit in overly damp soil. Water them only when the soil feels dry to the touch for best results.

We love gardening tips that are great for the environment, and this one is a favorite here at Millcreek Gardens.
 
Bees, hummingbirds and butterflies are three of nature’s biggest helpers. In fact, pollinators are necessary for the reproduction of flowering plants and for growing most fruits and vegetables.
 
In Northern Utah, you can beautify your garden while creating an attractive pollinator environment by choosing the right outdoor plants.
 
The More the Merrier with Nature’s Pollinating Helpers
 
The U.S. Forest Service reports that 75 percent of our food crops depend on animal pollinators. Likewise, birds and insects depend on flowering plants to provide food, mates and materials for nest-building. In fact, neither can exist without the other.
 
Unfortunately, some pollinators are fighting an uphill battle. Bee populations are dying off, which poses a potential threat to the environment and human food supplies. Because bees handle the largest portion of the world’s pollinating duties, the best gardening tips are those that nourish and encourage bees in any way possible.
 
Fortunately, those plants and conditions that attract bees are usually attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds as well.
 
It’s All About That Nectar
 
The best gardening tip for attracting bees and other pollinators involves choosing the right combination of flowering plants.
 
Choose annual and perennial flowers that have plenty of nectar and that bloom during the day. Blue and yellow are the best colors for bees, although any brightly colored blooms will attract animal pollinators of all types. Choose those varieties that hold their blooms the longest. Plant a mix of early-, middle- and late-season bloomers so they have access to nectar throughout the growing season.
 
For bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, the best flowers are those that provide an adequate landing platform to support their visit.
 
Those flower varieties that require the tiny visitors to work for the nectar – that is, the nectar is contained deep within the flower – encourage them to track through pollen. As they visit the next flower, the pollen is transferred and their pollinating mission is fulfilled. Meanwhile, they have harvested the food and energy they need to move along their way.
 
The Forest Service also offers a handy set of gardening tips for selecting pollinator-friendly plants for your yard.
 
Add Extra Elements for a Pollinator-Friendly Garden
 
Our last gardening tips for attracting animal pollinators involve the little extras you should (and shouldn’t) use in your garden.
 
To give bees, birds and butterflies a boost, provide a water source and several types of shelter. Hedges, leaf and grass clipping piles, old branches and artificial nesting boxes are all good options.
 
As for what not to use, avoid toxic chemicals for pest or weed control. If you must use a pesticide, never allow it to come into contact with flowers or buds.
 
In Northern Utah, Millcreek Gardens is the premier locally owned and operated gardening center. Our expert staff is always available to help you select the perfect annual flowers, perennial plants and fruits and vegetables for your garden or landscape. And please don’t hesitate to ask us for more advice and gardening tips for attracting pollinators.

A Zen garden, sometimes known as a tranquility garden, is one of the most delightful outdoor spaces to create and enjoy.
 
Creating a sensory experience that allows visitors to truly feel and become one with nature requires the careful selection and placement of trees, shrubs, grasses, flowering plants and accessories.
 
Characteristics of the Zen Garden
 
Tranquility or Zen gardens are characterized by dense plantings arranged in sculptural layers.
 
Traditionally, these calming spaces use an Asian-inspired theme with corresponding accessories and outdoor plants. But don’t worry about following any established rules (unless you’re a traditionalist, of course). This is your space, so choose the design style you prefer.
 
Whatever theme you select, consider adding a water feature. The sound of moving water is profoundly calming and it will help drown out the sounds of traffic and other distractions.
 
Finally, remember to include comfortable seating. Whether you prefer a bench, lounge chair or an open space in the grass, make sure you have a great vantage point from which you can relax and soak in the serene environment.
 
Creating Your Zen Garden Design and Landscape Plan
 
Begin by marking off the tranquility garden area with spray paint or stakes. Carefully note the dimensions of the space and sketch them out on graph paper or in an online application.
 
A quick online search will offer a variety of versatile and easy-to-use applications, including free landscape design apps to assist you in completing your design and plant inventory.
 
The term Zen gardens sometimes refer to so-called dry gardens or rock gardens. But your design can include anything and everything that inspires you and creates a sense of natural relaxation.
 
Choosing Plants for the Zen Garden
 
In Northern Utah, we are fortunate to enjoy a growing zone that supports many outdoor plants that are ideal for creating a tranquility garden. As you select your shrubs, flowers and trees, remember that your objective is to create a natural-looking garden that appears to have grown there on its own.
 
Some of the most popular outdoor plants used in tranquility gardens include ferns, cypress, holly, hosta, sedge and Solomon’s seal. Alternate perennial flowers with evergreen shrubs and annual flower varieties for visual interest. This will also allow you to make subtle changes to your Zen garden each year, depending on your mood.
 
Finally, cover the ground with a rich carpet of Japanese forest grass alternated with other grass varieties of your choosing, to create horizontal heights and layers.
 
Include plants as well that have varying heights, widths and shapes. If space permits, include shade trees to provide coolness and shelter for your peaceful refuge. Flowering vines and draping or “weeping” plants add a graceful vertical element.
 
Accessories such as gazing balls, bamboo wind chimes, boulders and lanterns will complete the look and feel of your calming and beautiful garden space.
 
For additional ideas, you can peruse landscape books or magazines, or search online for pictures of Zen garden inspiration.
 
Millcreek Gardens in Salt Lake City has all of the outdoor plants, accessories and tools you need for your gardening and landscape needs. Visit us today and let one of our helpful team assist you in selecting the items you need to create the perfect Zen garden.

We always enjoy sharing new gardening tips with our Utah friends and neighbors, and this is one easiest and most fun options we’ve seen in a while.
 
Hay bale gardening is a simple and inexpensive way to grow your garden and it provides some benefits you might not otherwise enjoy. Let’s take a look at how you can try this gardening tip at your home!
 

The Advantages of Hay Bale Gardening

 
As you may have guessed, this gardening tip is exactly what it sounds like: growing your garden in hay bales
 
One of the greatest advantages of this approach is that the bales of hay create raised beds all on their own. No having to build or buy your raised beds and fill them with garden soil, mulch or soil amendments.
 
Without any of the cost or effort, you can enjoy all the benefits of raised beds. This means no bending or kneeling to plant or care for your outdoor plants. Raised beds put your treasures out of reach of predators and practically eliminate weeds.
 

Growing Outdoor Plants in Hay Bales is Super Easy

 
Another reason we love this gardening tip is that hay bales eliminate the need for garden soil, mulch and compost.
 
Because hay is made from dried grasses, it’s self-composting. The chemical processes that go on inside the bales break down the natural components of the dried grass, creating all the nutrition your plants need. They also hold water exceptionally well, cutting down on the frequency you need to water your plants.
 
Many gardeners advocate using straw bales for this purpose. However, straw bales don’t hold water as well, they require the addition of fertilizers to keep plants healthy and most are made from genetically modified plant materials such as corn stalks or soy plants.
 

How to Grow Plants in Hay Bales

 
Obtain hay bales from a local farmer (check your local classified ads or Craigslist to find them), and arrange them in the garden to your liking. Every other day for ten days, sprinkle each bale with one-half cup of 42-0-0 nitrogen, then spray it down with water. On the alternate days, soak the bales well with water.
 
This will create a heat reaction inside the bale that begins breaking the hay down into organic components. Be sure to keep the bales wet and away from the house or other structures, to prevent any unexpected problems with the heat reaction.
 
Once you’re done conditioning the bales, they’re ready to plant.
 
Simply select the plants you want to grow and plant them in the bales as you would anywhere else. Over the course of the growing season, the bales will break down and create a lush pile of compost for conditioning your soil.
 
Millcreek Gardens is the perfect location to source all of your outdoor plants, shrubs and trees. Visit us for the fresh fruits and vegetables you want to plant in your hay bale garden, as well as for all the gardening supplies you need year around.

Choosing the perfect outdoor plants, trees, flowers and shrubs for your garden or landscape can be a challenge.
 
With countless options for selecting the perfect plants, a little professional guidance can help you in creating a landscape plan that you love. Although a professional landscape architect or designer is not in the budget for most of us, you can find some helpful online tools to put you on the right path.
 
Why a Landscape or Garden Plan is Important
 
If you’ve ever walked the aisles of your local garden center – and who among us hasn’t? – you probably found yourself becoming progressively more confused. Perusing all of Utah’s annual flowers, perennial plants, rose bushes and shrubs can be overwhelming.
 
Chances are, you select a few random plants and place them in your cart. Then you grab a bush or two, some outdoor shrubs and maybe a shade tree. Once you get home, however, you have too many plants for your garden or, worse, too few.
 
Without a plan, you’re more likely to spend too much money and end up with outdoor plants that aren’t right for the space, or that you can’t use in the location you selected.
 
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could create a full-color rendering of your dream garden design? Well, with just a few simple keystrokes on your computer, you can!
 
Use a Garden Planner to Select Your Outdoor Plants
 
The internet offers a wealth of helpful information on every imaginable topic, and garden planning is no different. You can do a quick online search for a landscape or planning tool that you like, or you can use one like the Better Homes and Gardens Plan-a-Garden app.
 
This free app allows you to upload a photo of your home or yard, or use of on their pre-selected designs. You can add garden paths of brick or paver stones, a lush, green lawn, trellis or even raised beds.
 
And now for the fun part: selecting your plants.
 
With thousands of outdoor plants to choose from, you can drag and drop rose bushes, annual plants, perennial flowers and shade trees to your heart’s content. You can resize the, move them around, and create the landscape plan of your dreams.
 
You can even save, export and print your full-color plan, so you can take it with you to the garden center.
