This is one of my personal favorite garden stores. It’s centrally located in Salt Lake and serves many local residents. I like this stores because the staff are highly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. They also specialize in plants that are appropriate for Utah’s growing conditions.

Cactus and Tropicals

12252 Draper Gate Drive (1325 East)

This is my favorite store to browse. These stores are simply beautiful with all of their different flower and succulent arrangements. It’s so beautiful in fact that they are often hosting or providing arrangements for weddings and special events. If you’re looking to brighten up your home,Cactus and Tropicals has a great selection of healthy and hardy indoor plants and very knowledgeable staff to help you find what you’re looking for. The only downside is that this store can be quite expensive, and yet, I usually leave with a cart full of plants…
