The Water Conservation Garden at Red Butte Garden on the University of Utah’s campus celebrates the beauty of the desert and high plains ecoregions while educating the public on water conservation, native and adaptable plants, and hardscape materials indigenous to the area. Through a series of garden terraces, guests encounter diverse and educational experiences that also inspire an appreciation for endemic species in a water-wise environment. The design expands visitor experience by 3 acres while overlooking the native mountain landscape and Salt Lake City.
