Red Butte Garden

Greetings from Red Butte Garden, I’ve been in the Executive Director’s seat at Red Butte Garden for a little over five months, and I can honestly say it hasn’t been the transition I envisioned. This year has been challenging for everyone worldwide, but I realize I’m lucky that my workplace is also a great place to reconnect with nature, slow down, and take a deep breath. Our garden helps me to remember that there is still hope and beauty in the world.

It has been a difficult year with the loss of our concert series, summer camps, and plant sales, as well as being closed during our peak spring season. These factors have resulted in a loss of the majority of our earned revenues. Thankfully, we are back open and continue to be surprised by the generous support and appreciation of our guests, members, and donors. I’m also pleasantly surprised by the creativity and resiliency of our staff who are always looking for new ways to keep some of these events alive.

Instead of the fall plant sale this year, we will be having a large bulb sale, which you can read more about in this issue.

Bulbs to me are the most magical of plants for many reasons. I was fortunate enough to have both my grandmothers live to be 100 years old, and they were both consummate gardeners. I remember them both giving me daffodil bulbs as a small child to plant at home. I would watch for them to sprout every day until miraculously one cold blustery, rainy spring day, the buds would burst from the ground. Those experiences fueled my life-long love of horticulture. To this day, daffodils are my absolute favorite flower, and it is amazing that Red Butte Garden has over 246,000 of them in bloom every spring. I hope you will be encouraged to purchase some bulbs as a gift to yourself or someone you love this fall to either build or support a love of bulbs.

I do have some great news to share. Red Butte Garden was one of the grant recipients of the Create In Utah grant. This grant provided $9 million in grants to 15 arts organizations with annual budgets of more than $5 million. The funding, which comes from the federal CARES Act, targets programs that boost tourism and help local economies recover. We will be doing a modified self-guided version of our popular Garden After Dark event for the whole month of October. We will share more of our exciting plans with you as we finalize the details.

In more good news, we’ve also reintroduced the native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout back into Red Butte Creek in collaboration with the Utah Division of Wildlife. You can read about the whole process in this issue, but I encourage you to come see them in person as they happily dart about our ponds.

I hope you’ve had time to garden at home or visit us at Red Butte Garden during these stressful times. Never underestimate the healing power of a quiet moment in the Garden.

“You normally have to be bashed about a bit by life to see the point in daffodils, sunsets and uneventful nice days.” Alain de Botton Kind Regards,

Jimmy Turner, Executive Director

The Wildflower Meadow in the Natural Area

GO NATIVE

(Of course, we’re talking about seed collection.)

We all know creating a lush garden can be expensive, especially if you choose the wrong plants and location for your project. As you design your own gardens, consider the additional benefits of using local seed, which include restoring native habitats, preserving biodiversity, attracting pollinators, and simply adding beauty to your landscape. You may also find that collecting seed from native plants found along the Wasatch Front can be fun and rewarding.

Native seed is desirable because it is more adapted to our climate, increasing the chance of successful plantings. You may notice seed packets in stores throughout the community labeled natural or wildflower mix. Before planting, you should carefully inspect the packet contents. Many contain seeds that are not native to Utah—meaning they may have been grown and collected elsewhere— and may not be well suited to our area. In addition to a selection of perennial seeds, these packets also include seeds of annuals that flower for only one season and for a short duration. Sometimes the non-native seeds in these packets may even grow into plants that are invasive to our local ecosystem.

Each year, Red Butte Garden horticulture staff and volunteers collect seed from our native plantings.

The seeds are collected from the Wildflower Meadow, Water Conservation Garden, Natural Area, and other restoration sites in and around the Garden. All the seeds collected are native to Utah and include a variety of annual, biennial, and perennial forbs and grasses that have extended bloom times. We also focus on plants known to self-sow/reseed easily in Salt Lake County and the surrounding areas. A large amount of this seed is used for restoration plantings within the Garden and Natural Area, but we also make seed packets containing up to 15 species native to the region and offer them for sale in our gift shop. Some staff favorites include blue flax (Linum lewisii), Rocky Mountain bee plant (Cleome serrulata), and Great Basin wildrye (Leymus cinereus). All promise to bring year-round native interest to your garden. redbuttegarden.org

Ethics and laws of collecting • Check with the local forest service or Bureau of Land Management personnel for details about seed collection on federal or state lands and whether a permit is required.

• Get permission from neighbors and private land owners before accessing private property.

• Learn about general seed collection policies. Collection requires identifying the plant, collecting only the seeds and not whole plants, and collecting less than 20% of the seed from the population and less than 50% of the seed from one plant.

Collection timing and technique • Collect only mature seeds.

• Check moisture content, color (mature seeds are often dark, brown, or black), seed size, and shape. Mature seeds, or seed pods that are dry or split, can be removed easily from the pod.

Storage • Store seed in paper or cloth bags to allow the seed to breathe. Never store seed in plastic.

• Clean, separate, and dry your seed before storing in a cool, dry, dark place.

Generally, the viability of seed is reduced each year.

GARDEN DESIGN TIPS FOR SPRINGTIME BLOOMS Fall is the perfect time to design and plant a beautiful display of spring-blooming bulbs that you can enjoy for years to come. To help you get started, we’ve compiled some of the design principles we learned from working with renowned local landscape designer Peter Lassig who guided many of the bulb designs featured at Red Butte Garden.

Before you begin, take a look at your garden and decide what you hope to achieve. Are there specific things you want to highlight in your landscape? How will the bulbs relate to the existing perennials, trees, and shrubs? Consider the cultural conditions of your garden, which include soil type, drainage, irrigation, and sun exposure. Many bulbs— daffodils, fritillaries, and hyacinths—are critter-resistant if deer or squirrels are frequent visitors in your yard.

Bloom time is an important consideration. Spring-blooming bulbs are divided into several seasons of bloom, including very early spring, early spring, mid-spring, late spring, and so on into summer. By using a combination of bulbs with different bloom periods, it’s possible to create a beautiful display of blooms that lasts from late winter to early summer. There are even some bulbs that bloom in the fall.

Top L: Hyacinthus 'Pink Pearl' Top R: Tulipa saxtatilis ssp. bakeri 'Lilac Wonder' Bottom: Narcissus 'Sweet Love'

Each flowering bulb has its own character. For example, Lassig described tulips as formal ballerinas, daffodils as casual schoolgirls that are best seen from the trumpet side, and hyacinths as awkward, clumsy soldiers that are best when planted in “explosions” or asymmetrically-shaped clusters. Considering these traits will help you create a design with visual appeal.

So, you’ve decided which flowering bulbs you want to plant, as well as bloom times and colors, all while taking into account the cultural conditions. Now it’s time to look at the design process, which is all about relationships. Articulating the relationships between the bulbs will help you determine how many of each bulb to buy and how they’ll be arranged for planting. This may sound a little complicated, but a little up-front planning can help avoid costly or disappointing results. redbuttegarden.org

7

Group your bulbs by season of bloom, and then group each bloom season by hierarchy based on dominant or subordinate traits. Dominance is determined by factors related to visual impact, such as color, size, form, and texture. For example, a brighter or darker color is dominant to one that is pale or white. A taller plant or larger bloom is dominant to one that is shorter or smaller. These final groupings establish the relationships that will be important when creating your final design.

When designing a garden, we use a technique of Lassig’s that he called SkeletonTendon-Flesh. The skeleton forms the structure of the design and consists of the most dominant bulbs. The tendon visually connects the skeletal elements and is made up of less dominant bulbs that may either complement or contrast with the skeleton. The flesh consists of the most subordinate bulbs, which are used to complete and fill out the design. Each category can have as many different varieties of bulbs as you like, and this design technique can be used for any type of design style. At Red Butte Garden, we prefer a naturalistic style, using curving lines and asymmetrical shapes rather than artificial configurations such as straight lines, concentric circles, or checkerboards.

Fritillaria uva-vulpis

How many bulbs should you plant? First, determine the size of your planting bed and the number of bulbs per square feet (to calculate bulb density, see link at end of article). The bulbs are not actually planted by square foot, so this just helps you determine the overall quantity. For example, a 100-square-foot bed planted with five bulbs per square foot will have a total of 500 bulbs divided among the skeleton, tendon, and flesh. The more dominant the bulb, the fewer are needed. The skeleton uses the least percentage, about 10–20%, while the tendon is about 20–30% of the total. The flesh, consisting of the smallest, least dominant bulbs, commands the

Skeleton-Tendon-Flesh Plan

Skeleton clusters: spaced irregularly (9" - 24")

Tendon clusters: spaced in relationship to the previous tendon and skeleton

Tendon clusters: spaced in relationship to skeleton

Flesh: irregularly spaced to fill in and connect skeleton and tendon

Note: Symbols represent placement, not size of clusters. Size of clusters will vary based on number and spacing of bulbs within each.

highest percentage, usually 60–80%. In our example, the skeleton (10%) is 50 bulbs and the tendon (20%) is 100 bulbs, leaving 350 bulbs (70%) for the flesh. The total numbers per category can then be divided among the number of different varieties in each. If in doubt, always purchase more bulbs than you think you’ll need. You won’t be disappointed by the results in spring.

The final step is to layout and plant the bulbs. Laying out the bulbs in order of dominance will help you keep track of your design. Starting with the skeleton, place clusters of bulbs at various points along an imaginary curving line, setting down one variety at a time. Then follow with the tendon, placing each variety in relation to the skeleton clusters. Finally, fill in the remainder of the space with the flesh, setting down clusters of each variety, one at a time. For a naturalistic effect, bulbs should be spaced irregularly within each cluster, with some placed quite close to each other and some a few to several inches apart.

We hope you enjoy designing with bulbs this fall as you prepare for a stunning display in your own garden next spring. As the snow melts and early buds begin to show, you’ll be rewarded with a seasonal display of blooms for years to come.

Utah's state fish, the Bonneville Cutthroat Trout.

BRINGING BACK THE BONNIES In keeping with its mission to manage and protect the state’s wildlife resources, the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) called on Red Butte Garden to help further revive the Bonneville Cutthroat Trout population and educate the public about its history and habitat. This ambitious collaboration began with the dredging of the Garden’s middle and upper ponds and culminated in the release of approximately 200 Bonneville Cutthroat Trout fingerlings—referred to as Bonnies by many anglers— into the newly restored ponds.

Through the fall of 2015 and winter of 2017-18, Red Butte Garden, the University of Utah Transportation Department, and other state and federal agencies worked together to permit and complete a dredging operation of both the upper and middle ponds that are fed by Red Butte Creek.

More than 30 years of sediment buildup made the ponds murky, and an overgrowth of aquatic plants, including (Typha), bulrush (Scirpus), and the invasive common reed (Phragmites), made the ponds congested and inaccessible. Prior to dredging, the DWR also removed the June Sucker population (Chasmistes liorus) (also native to Utah) and returned them to Utah Lake and Provo River where they are endemic.

With the sediment, weedy plants, and June Suckers relocated to a more appropriate lake, the water became cleaner, clearer, and more habitable for native plants and wildlife, including the Bonneville Cutthroat Trout.

As a result of overfishing, competition from artificially stocked, non-native species, and habitat loss, this trout subspecies was believed extinct by the early 1900s. Miraculously, small populations were rediscovered in the 1970s, and after aggressive conservation efforts, Utah’s state fish has made a comeback in its native range throughout Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. Descendants of those endangered populations were released into the Garden’s ponds and Red Butte Creek on June 15, 2020. redbuttegarden.org

11

Red Butte Garden’s goal now is to educate the public about the Bonneville Cutthroat Trout and to provide a clean, clear habitat for it to thrive. We invite you to spend some time at the Water Pavilion and along the banks of the ponds to see the trout and observe as they grow and adjust to their new home. Be sure to look for the distinctive red coloration on the underside of the lower jaw for which the trout is aptly named.

P.S. Please don’t feed the fish or other wildlife in the Garden and ponds—it’s not necessary and could harm them.

THE STATE FISH OF UTAH Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii Utah) History •

This subspecies of cutthroat are descendants of cutthroat trout that were native to Lake Bonneville 300,000 years ago.

•

The common name cutthroat refers to the reddish cut mark on the lower jaw beneath the gills.

•

Also called the “Ainkai Painkwi” or “red fish” by Goshute Native Americans, this trout is considered sacred to the Tribe.

•

As Lake Bonneville drained and the climate changed about 50,000– 100,000 years ago, the range of these trout also shrank and separated into four geographical areas—Bear River, Bear Lake, Snake Valley, and Bonneville Basin.

•

Due to over-harvest, habitat loss, and the introduction of non-native fish, they were once thought to have become extinct by the early 1900s, but were rediscovered in the headwaters of Birch Creek in 1974.

•

Aggressive and coordinated recovery efforts have prevailed, and Bonneville Cutthroat Trout now swim in approximately 2,500 square miles of streams and watersheds across Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Habitat •

These trout require cold, clear, well-oxygenated, shallow rivers with gravel bottoms, or cold, moderately deep lakes to flourish.

•

Considered an opportunistic apex predator, they feed on aquatic and terrestrial insects, small amphibians, small fish, crayfish, and other crustaceans.

•

Bonneville Cutthroat Trout are the only native “sport fish” in Utah—rainbow and brown trout are non-native species.

Six Bridges Trail under construction adjacent to Red Butte Creek

BUILDING A TRAIL ACROSS RED BUTTE CREEK If you visited the Garden this summer, you may have noticed construction underway along Red Butte Creek adjacent to the Garden’s northern property line. This work is the first phase of our Six Bridges Trail project to add a winding walking trail alongside the upper reaches of the creek. The new path will zigzag upstream, crossing a series of six steel pedestrian bridges that will be installed later this year. We’ve also included a revegetation phase to address erosion along the creek while improving the stream habitat for the native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout.

Creating the Six Bridges Trail has been a Red Butte Garden goal since 2003 when master planning efforts identified the opportunity for a creekside trail. In 2016, after a generous gift from Ezekiel R. Dumke, Jr., we engaged the environmental consulting firm Bio-West Inc. to help plan and design the final trail alignment. Construction was made possible with significant gifts from Alternative Visions Fund and an anonymous donor, as well as several private donations.

Our design team worked closely with federal, state, county, city, and University personnel to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations and to obtain the appropriate permits. More importantly, we are following best practices to restore a healthy riparian environment.

All design decisions for the new trail were made with the intent to remain sensitive to the surrounding creek side environment. The trail will be constructed from Flexi-Pave® (a permeable pavement comprised of stone aggregate mixed with bits of recycled rubber tires that helps to clean infiltrating water) and elevated grated steel panels where the trail passes over sensitive wetland. Sections of the streambank that were previously heavily eroded will be reinforced with a combination of rock boulders and tree stumps.

This technique creates long-term stability along the streambank, and the tree stumps that overhang the water’s edge create fish habitat. We have removed approximately 12 dump truck loads of old concrete debris, a remnant from when the property was part of Fort Douglas, and we will revegetate those areas with waterwise and native plantings.

When complete, the Six Bridges Trail will provide a shady respite for Garden guests, and the creekside location, combined with environmentally friendly construction practices, will afford many teaching opportunities for Garden staff and University faculty. We anticipate completing construction in late fall of 2020 and look forward to our guests being able to enjoy this unique trail for many years to come.
