International Peace Gardens, Botanical garden in Jordan Park, Salt Lake City, United States.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One garden section contains a full-size replica of a famous mountain peak with small buildings that show the architecture of a particular region. This is a detail many visitors overlook even though it makes a strong visual impression.
