Three Generations of Gardening in Utah: The Legacy of Lambert Growers15 Aug 202500:40:47

Lambert Growers has been a cornerstone for Utah gardeners since the late 1950s, when Barbara and Paul Lambert started a small backyard greenhouse that has now grown into a thriving, third-generation nursery in West Valley City. In this episode, Jana Francis chats with Kim Clark—who now runs the greenhouse with her husband Charlie—about the rich history of Lambert Growers, their unique growing practices, and the future of local nurseries in Utah.

You’ll discover:

  • 🌱 The history of Lambert Growers and its three generations of family ownership

  • 🥬 What cool-season vegetables you can still plant in Utah this fall

  • 🌸 How Lambert Growers expanded into medicinal herbs, houseplants, and unique perennial offerings

  • 💚 Why supporting local nurseries keeps Utah’s gardening community strong

  • 🧑‍🌾 Practical tips on hardening off plants, soil testing, and avoiding common gardening myths (goodbye eggshell trick!)

Whether you’re a longtime Lambert customer or just discovering the value of local nurseries, this episode is filled with inspiration and practical advice you can put to use in your own backyard.
