Seasonal festivals, classes, plant sales, children’s activities and other events in a garden setting are popular with visitors of all ages.

East Canyon State Park – East Canyon State Park & Reservoir is a 680-acre boating and year-round fishing delight nestled in the mountains northeast of Salt Lake City on state routes 65 and 66. Recreationists will find a wide concrete launching ramp, paved parking area, modern rest rooms, showers, fish cleaning station and 31-unit campground with a large overflow area. Two spacious, covered pavilions with electricity are available for groups. A concessionaire provides boat rentals, grill and convenience store.

Staycations (places to go, things to do that are a short drive away)

Red Mountain Resort & Spa – Ivins, UT – Few places on earth match the beauty and tranquility of the red rocks surrounding St. George, Utah. You’ll find a vast selection of healthy living activities, accommodations, dining, spa, and recreational services at Red Mountain Spa.

Wolf Creek Utah – Eden, UT – Some say Ogden Valley reminds them of Switzerland. For certain, the enchanting little town of Eden, nestled in the foothills, has views to die for. And the moment you set foot in this mountain resort community, there will be no doubt you’ve found paradise.
