Our Botanical Gardens Expert Says:
Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, will provide you with a colorful, sweet-smelling afternoon. Located on a semi-arid knoll, this "museum of living plants" is one of northern Utah's most-widely-regarded botanical gardens; spend an a few hours walking through it and you will see why. Red Butte's well-maintained 25-acres are divided between a medicinal garden, a diverse daylily collection, a perennial garden, a fragrance garden, and a children's garden. On trails crisscrossing 125 undeveloped acres you can also pay tribute to over 300 large and dwarf conifer trees. The gardens are open daily year-round.
From Red Butte Garden & Arboretum - Salt Lake City, Utah:
Today Red Butte Garden remains a part of the University of Utah and is the largest botanical garden that tests, displays and interprets regional horticulture in a 400 mile radius. The Garden has 18 acres of display gardens and 2-3 miles of hiking trails.
