Happy New Year 2025! With a fresh blanket of snow, the quiet solstice of the Garden transforms into a winter wonderland. The delicate branches of trees, tipped with snow, create an atmosphere like no other.

Red Butte white with snow

Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica)

This stately conifer produces blue needle-like leaves that cover the branches.

Nuttall's Oak (Quercus texana)

Because Nuttall's Oak isn't native to our region, it often holds onto its leaves until mid to late winter or later!

White Fir (Abies concolor)

The leaves of this fantastic Utah native smell citrusy when crushed.

Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger)

Hibernation? What's that?

New year, new us! Get ready for another fantastic year at the Garden as we welcome 2025 with hope, positivity, and exciting changes.
