When I first moved to Salt Lake this was one place I would go frequently, just to wander. It is a beautiful, well kept garden, but not too manicured. There are acres and acres to explore. I would plan to spend at least 2 hours, maybe even bring a picnic. The plants, flowers and trees are labeled which makes it fun if you are looking for landscaping ideas. You can look forward to a great children's garden, herb garden, medicial garden, rose garden, fish pond, arboretum, wisteria trellis's, and many hiking trails. This is a place that has something for everyone.
