Celebrate Arbor Day!

Red Butte Garden and Arboretum

Celebrate Arbor Day, April 24, all day at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum with interactive activities, expert insights, and a little something to take home.

Start your visit with our Tree Giveaway, where you can pick up a free Eastern Redbud seedling, available while supplies last. Then set off on a Tree Hunt through the Garden, discovering some of our favorite species and uncovering fun facts along the way.

Curious how trees thrive in Utah’s dry climate? Stop by our Exploration Stops to learn how mindful watering and consistent care support healthy growth year-round. At 10:30 am, don’t miss our Tree Planting Demo, where Red Butte Garden’s arborist, Charlie Perington, will share expert tips for helping young trees take root and flourish.

Throughout the day, visit the Learning Lab to connect with local partners like Red Butte Garden, TreeUtah, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and the Utah Community Forestry Council, and many more for even more tree-inspired learning.

Come explore, learn and grow!
