Red Butte Garden and Arboretum

Red Butte Garden and Arboretum Review

With more than 100 acres of gardens and undeveloped acres, the grounds here provide many pleasurable hours of strolling. Of special interest are the Perennial, Fragrance, and Medicinal gardens, the Daylily Collection, the Water Pavilion, and the Children's Garden. Lectures on everything from bugs to gardening in arid climates, workshops, and concerts are presented regularly. The popular Summer Concert Series attracts well-known musicians such as John Hiatt, Los Lobos, and the Pretenders, and draws raves as one of the most pristine outdoor concert settings in America. The amphitheatre seats approximately 2,000 people on its expansive lawn, and was beautifully rebuilt and landscaped in 2008. The Botanic Gift Shop offers books, soaps, sculptures, and fine gifts.
