the Red Butte Gardens


The Red Butte Gardens (pronounced beaut) are part of the University of Utah. Jenny had heard they were good so off we went to investigate and yes - they are very good indeed in spite of no cafe for a cup of tea. 

I really liked the children's garden - free of children as they are in school - where they are encouraged to play, hiding under trees, admiring a topiary moose and climbing through a plant dragon.



David fell for a tall weeping white spruce  "I want one!" he cried 


but we dragged him away to look at The Four Seasons Garden with its stunning American Cranberry, a viburnum.
