Utah Stories ShowAuthor: Richard Markosian
The Utah Stories Show fosters conversations about important issues that relate to the quality of life for all Utahns. We will be hosting guests who are government leaders, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and those who are the thought leaders in Utah's changing culture, especially those who are seeking to make Utah into a better place. A large part of what we seek to do is hold government leaders accountable to the people, and have them answer the tough questions related to policy and quality of life in Utah. While this show is political, we plan on keeping our approach balanced and fair, as we have done for years with Utah Stories magazine.

How to Create a Four Season Garden That Thrives in Utah
Monday, 24 November, 2025
Most Utah gardens look great for a few weeks… and then fade, dry out, or turn into bare patches by mid-summer or fall. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, Loreen and Heidi from Millcreek Gardens explain how to design a true four season garden that holds color, structure, and life all year — even in Utah's harsh, desert climate. We talk about: Why so many Utah yards fail long before summer ends How to layer height, foliage, texture, and form for year-round interest Easy winter-friendly ideas like evergreen containers, branches, berries, and structure How to keep plants alive in Utah soil and avoid the #1 cause of plant failure (hydration issues) What big-box stores get wrong about Utah's climate How a three-generation local garden center built a niche by growing plants that survive here Special varieties you won't find at chains — and how to choose plants that last If you want your yard to look good in spring, summer, fall and winter — or you're tired of wasting money on plants that don't make it — this conversation is packed with insights Utah homeowners rarely hear.
