International Peace Gardens, Botanical garden in Jordan Park, Salt Lake City, United States.
Description
The International Peace Gardens spread across a large area along the Jordan River with separate garden sections for different countries. These sections combine native and international plants with distinctive structures such as pavilions, columns, and stone features.
History
The site grew from an idea in the 1930s to honor immigrants and was later formalized as a symbol of peace between nations. It developed gradually as different countries contributed their own garden sections over time.
Culture
Each national garden section shows traditions that visitors can experience directly through the design and structures. The layouts reveal how different cultures represent their homelands through plants, buildings, and the way spaces are arranged.
Practical
This location is easy to reach on foot and has well-maintained paths suitable for all visitors. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can fully enjoy the details of each garden section.
