A botanical garden celebrating Utah's local flora and cultural roots

Nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, the Red Butte Garden and Arboretum is much more than a botanical garden—it's a place where nature and culture intertwine to offer a unique experience. With trails, themed gardens, and areas dedicated to native flora of the American Southwest, this place invites visitors to connect with Utah's distinctive landscape.

In addition, the garden collaborates closely with local Indigenous communities, incorporating art, exhibits, and events that celebrate their traditions and ancestral knowledge of plants and the environment. This brings profound cultural value and respect for the living history of the land.

During the summer, Red Butte also hosts outdoor concerts in a natural amphitheater surrounded by trees and flowers, merging natural beauty with contemporary culture. It's a perfect place to stroll, learn, and relax, away from the urban hustle and bustle, yet just minutes from downtown Salt Lake City.
