State Arboretum of Utah, Botanical garden in Salt Lake City, United States.
The State Arboretum of Utah spans 100 acres in the eastern foothills of the University of Utah campus, featuring 21 acres of curated gardens and five miles of trails.
Dr. Walter P. Cottam initiated plant research on the University of Utah campus in 1930, leading to the site's official designation as State Arboretum by the legislature in 1961.
The garden acknowledges the traditional lands of the Shoshone, Paiute, Goshute, and Ute Tribes through educational programs and native plant preservation.
The Walter P. Cottam Visitor Center provides information about local ecosystems, while numerous walking paths allow exploration of different themed garden sections.
The arboretum displays 560,000 springtime blooming bulbs and maintains an extensive collection of daffodils, contributing to regional plant research and conservation.
