General Garden Donation
Gifts towards general garden maintenance and operating expenses are essential to sustain the beauty of Red Butte Garden. Your gift will go a long way to care for nearly 100 acres of land and over 5,000 types of plants. You can choose to support the Garden through financial donations or in-kind donations such as goods and services. Your gift will help our horticultural staff maintain and enhance the beauty of the Garden for many years to come.
Education and Programs Donation
Red Butte Garden welcomes over 18,000 school children each year to participate in our acclaimed educational outreach programs. During the summer, students can attend youth camps where they will learn about Prehistoric Plants, Cooking in the Garden, and many other exciting topics. Students can also visit Red Butte Garden through onsite field trips for a two-hour hands-on class. Second grade students across the state have the opportunity to participate in our Grow lab program in which students plant and care for seeds in their own classrooms. In addition, the Garden offers over 50 classes each year for adults and families. Your gift of support will allow Red Butte Garden to continue to teach people about the important role plants play in our lives.
Rose Garden and Amphitheatre Donation
During the 2008 Concert Season, our guests experienced improved sightlines, permanent bathrooms, and a state of the art stage in our new Amphitheatre. Our next phase in this project is the creation of the Rose Garden. This will serve as an additional wedding and special event venue, as well as another space in which patrons can experience the beauty of living landscapes and enjoy Utah's beautiful outdoors.
Conservation Donation
At Red Butte Garden, our conservation team works to protect the rare flora of Utah and the Intermountain West. We work with rare and endangered plants by removing them from unsafe habitats, through ex-situ conservation using methods such as seed banking. We also care for plants in their natural habitat by protecting the habitat itself, through in-situ conservation such as population monitoring studies. Your gift to conservation will help the Garden continue its efforts to protect endangered plants throughout the Intermountain West.
