Sustainable gardening for water-wise, resilient landscapes & gardens
Practical guidance on native plants, water-wise systems, and pesticide-free gardening — focused on the Mountain West and relevant anywhere dry, hot, or changing.
Gardening that works with your climate — not against it
Bloom Gardens is built around one idea: sustainable gardens succeed when design, plants, and systems align with local conditions.
Instead of chasing quick fixes or chemicals, we focus on approaches that reduce water use, support pollinators, and improve long-term resilience.

Design strategies that reduce water use while keeping landscapes healthy and functional.
Native Plants & Pollinators
