Red Hills Desert Garden
Red Hills Desert Garden is only 5 acres in size, but on those 5 acres, over 5,000 distinct varieties of desert plants are alive and well. The well-marked trails will take visitors through the orderly and exquisitely designed garden, where they may read instructional signs about the species found there and hop from stepping stone to stepping stone across a flowing creek that bisects the park. Also, there is a display where visitors may see several fish species that can be found in the Virgin River.
The approximately 5-acre garden includes 200 million-year-old dinosaur tracks, 5,000 water-efficient plants, a 1,150-foot stream supplied with native and endangered fish species, a miniature slot canyon, and 1,150 feet of native and endangered flora. Virgin River Program, City of St. George, and Washington County Water Conservation District collaborated on the project. Since the garden's debut in the spring of 2015, thousands have come to visit.
