Red Butte Garden, situated on 100 acres at the mouth of Red Butte Canyon in Salt Lake City, is the largest living botanical collection in the intermountain west. This community-funded project is home to a collection of native, ethnobotanic, rare, endemic, and geographically relevant plant species, the State Arboretum of Utah, and over 450,000 spring-blooming bulbs including one of the most diverse collections of Narcissus sp. in the world. Red Butte is a proud proponent of native plant research, and the conservation department is host to a small, but growing assortment of herbarium specimens collected as part of a commitment to that endeavor.
