Thank goodness for the inspiration of so many to have the U of U dedicate 100 acres for our Red Butte botanical garden that is known for their conservation and environmental education. Executive Deputy Director, Derreck Hansen, is thrilled for the Red Butte concert series which is underway. The garden is also hosting events and is the most stunning back drop for weddings and summer camp hosting 250 events yearly. You also have to check out the kids garden area made just for them, or find out about gardening classes with water conservation tips. As we all initiate self-care, the Yoga, mindfulness meditation and Tai Chi classes are a hit.

The Red Butte Garden’s Mission is to connect people with plants and the beauty of living landscapes which they do every day. Check out all that’s happening at redbuttegarden.org.

Utah’s main streets define the character of our communities, as much as our cities and national parks.

Through innovation, resilience and hope, small business owners in Salt Lake County and throughout the state are rising to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Visit Salt Lake and the Utah Office of Tourism invite you to join us as we hear the inspiring stories of these small business owners in a series we call Mighty Main Street.
