Growing Microgreens and Sprouts Part 1: Getting Started

We grew our own microgreens and sprouts and you can too!
You’ve probably heard of microgreens and you’ve most likely eaten sprouts. But, have you ever had the desire to try and grow them? Modern Gardener set out on a microgreen and sprout growing experiment to find out as much as we could about growing these tasty little greens; how easy (or difficult) the process could be, what materials are needed, how long it takes, what can be grown and sprouted, and finally, what they taste like and what meals might they complement.

Visit Red Butte Garden in the winter and get inspired!
There’s nothing better to beat the winter blues than to get moving and spend time outdoors in nature. Red Butte Garden, one of Utah’s premiere botanical gardens nestled into the foothills of Salt Lake City, is open year round and it’s the perfect place to escape to in the winter when cabin fever strikes.

DIY Bird Feeder to Help Birds Through Utah’s Winters

Feeding birds to help them through Utah's harsh winters...
Wintertime in Utah, with our snow-blanketed mountains and valleys, can seem like everything is in hibernation. You might be surprised to find there are birds who migrate to Utah in the wintertime, and an abundance of overwintering birds who stay year round. To survive the below freezing temperatures and short days, these birds must work hard all winter to find food and stay warm.
