Red Hills Desert Garden
One of the places I visited during my brief trip to St. George this summer was the Red Hills Desert Garden. You might say to yourself, what could be growing in a desert garden? Well, the short answer is, a lot. Here are some of my favorite shots at this location:
The first time I learned of a Yucca plant is from Fallout: New Vegas. It's one of those plants that offer you sustenance throughout the Mojave Desert. I'm not an expert on the exact speciation, but I do believe it is a Brakelights Red Yucca based on the picture.
The garden has a variety of cacti. This was where I also realized that most of the diverse cacti are actually from the American continent. There's only one species that is native to the Old World, and you could easily find that from an internet search.
When I came across these agaves, I thought they looked like artichokes. Behold, that was their name.
I couldn't say I have visited the American desert scape if I didn't show you a picture of a Joshua Tree. It's a unique species that grows around this part of the country.
The rest of the garden had some neat landscaping that also tried to showcase some of the aquatic life in the area.
I liked how this buffalo turned out. I didn't think it was possible to make it like that.
One of the more interesting things about the garden was the dinosaur tracks that were around. At first, I thought they were man-made. The info signs noted that the builders discovered them during the garden's construction. So, the tracks aren't merely decorations. They are the real deal.
If you are afraid of the heat, don't worry. There are plenty of spots where you could shield yourself from the heat.

Yup, I live in a desert.
You captured some interesting things, but i like the cacti and dinosaur tracks over there 😀
Glad you liked them!
This palace likes a red desert. Your post is so interesting.😍
If you ever go down to that area, it's very red down there.
You really took amazing great pictures
Thanks!
Knowledge is power
We have that plant in my country but I never knew it was called Yucca
Thanks for sharing...
The Red Hills Desert Garden looks like a fascinating place to visit! I love how you included pictures of some of the plants and animals you saw. The yucca plant is definitely one of my favorites, and I'm always amazed by the variety of cacti that grow in the desert. I also think the Joshua tree is a really unique and beautiful plant.
It’s free to visit too.
I also had chillies and tomotor planted inside my garden but it has been some time now that nothing special has been planted, This place is very beautiful, one gets to learn a lot by visiting such places.
There are definitely some edible stuff in that garden.

St. George is such a cool place! Red rock all around, just a pretty place to visit. It's been a few years since I drove through so I don't think I've ever seen that place. Great desert plants and a giant buffalo head! I'll have to make a point to look for it the next time I pass on through.
Moab is still my favorite stop in South Utah, amazing place!
I thought I was missing your posts, but it seems St. George heat might have kicked your ass.
It's such a cool town because of the landscape. I can't believe how it has exploded in growth over the past 20 years. I'll still take Cedar City over it though. The dino tracks are definitely something to see. Parowan Gap has some too.
I was out of the country for a bit too. So, not feeling like posting until sometime next week.
Thanks for thinking of me.
