There’s no better place than Red Butte Garden to celebrate Arbor Day! As Utah’s very own arboretum and the official host of the state Arbor Day celebration, this is a great day to be introduced to the wonderful world of trees. Join us in April for fun activities on roots, leaves, rings and seeds and leave with a tree to plant in your own garden. Arbor Day is a free admission day thanks to Salt Lake County voters and Zoo, Arts and Parks. |
