From fall planting and winter workshops to dreams of a riverside café, Millcreek Gardens is finding new ways to bring Utahns together through gardening. When the weather cools, many Utah gardeners put away their tools. At Millcreek Gardens, though, fall is a chance to get a head start on next year. “We like to say, fall is for planting,” Heidi from Millcreek Gardens told the Utah Stories podcast. Trees, shrubs and perennials have time to settle in before summer’s heat returns. Tulips, daffodils and crocuses need the cold to bloom in spring. The vegetable garden doesn’t have to close for the season, either. Gardeners can harvest carrots in winter if they plant them early enough, Heidi said, while kale, cabbage and other cold-tolerant greens can keep producing. That’s welcome news for gardeners worn out by Utah’s summer heat. The podcast host described losing lettuce and tomatoes, and Heidi said she’s seen normally dependable plants struggle, too.

Nearby: Brigham City, UTIn 1944, Willam Christensen, a dancer from Brigham City, was asked to put on a show in San Francisco that would lift people’s spirits during World War II. He chose The Nutcracker. With many male dancers away at war, a ballet with plenty of roles for children was one he could stage. Costuming the cast took some ingenuity. “He went to thrift shops, he took down drapes to make costumes,” Ballet West artistic director Adam Sklute told the Utah Stories podcast. When Christensen returned to Utah in the early 1950s, he brought the production with him. The version Ballet West performs in Salt Lake City each holiday season began with that wartime show. A family act from Brigham City Christensen and his brothers grew up in a family of dancers in Brigham City. Their parents were ballroom dancers who brought classical ballet training to Utah in the early 1920s, at a time when, according to Sklute, it was still hard to come by in much of the country. The brothers took their dancing on the road.
