Red Butte Garden sits against the foothills above Salt Lake City, with cultivated gardens and routes that connect planting displays to a wider natural landscape.
Red Butte Garden sits in the Wasatch foothills above Salt Lake City, combining themed gardens and plant collections with a larger natural area. Its maps distinguish the cultivated grounds from trails through the surrounding foothill vegetation.
That transition between designed planting and a less managed landscape gives the garden a local setting beyond its individual displays. Slopes, outdoor exposure and wildlife are part of the natural-area environment. Concerts and special events have separate ticket arrangements from ordinary garden admission.
