Happy Arbor Day!!
As Utah’s very own arboretum, there’s no place better than Red Butte Garden to celebrate Arbor Day! Visit the Garden for a day filled with "tree-rific" fun as you discover the wonderful world of trees. Don't forget to pick up your FREE tree seedling courtesy of Rocky Mountain Power (while supplies last). Thanks to funding in part by Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts, and Parks Program (ZAP) Arbor Day is a ZAP Free Day! Enjoy free Garden admission all day.
