Red Butte Gardens just wrapped their annual Bulbs and Blooms
Festival. The grounds are bursting with bright yellow and orange daffodils. If
you missed the Festival, not to worry, the flowers aren’t going anywhere. And
maybe that is the best part of Red Butte Garden is always open (well nearly,
Turkey Day and the week after Christmas is reserved to give the tireless staff
a well-deserved rest). The convenience of 100 acres waiting for you any time
you can fit in some sunshine and exercise. Bring your walking shoes, camera, and
something cold to drink while taking in the Water Pavilion Garden, complete
with waterfall.
