GARDEN POETRY WALK
Year-Round
Poetry, Inspired By The Natural World
You will find a number of stand-up display poetry boxes scattered throughout the Garden exhibiting both well-known and lesser-known poetry befitting the year-round changing seasons. Look for them along the Floral Walk.
Did you know April is National Poetry Month?
Take a stroll through the Garden to find the eleven poetry boxes along the Floral Walk. Each box features a winning poem from our Annual Spring Poetry Contest written by a talented Utah poet. Don't miss the chance to celebrate poetry in the Garden!
