Water-wise By Design The Water Conservation Garden is underway! In April, Gramoll Construction, the general contractor for the project, began clearing the site for grading. The construction and planting process is anticipated to take 16 - 18 months and it can’t come soon enough.

With the current drought in Utah, already the second driest state in the nation, the massive multi-year drought in California, and ongoing droughts in other western states, the need for our communities to transition to water-wise landscaping and gardening is all the more apparent. The state of water-wise landscaping in Utah today is comparable to the use of seat belts and recycling forty years ago. Back then there were early adopters of each, but neither was widely practiced. Today, we buckle our seat belts with hardly a second thought and recycling containers are ubiquitous.

2015 HORTICULTURE FREE LECTURE SERIES

Today, water-wise landscaping is being done by the early adopters, but not the many.

In forty years, almost everyone will be doing it without a second thought. Waterwise practices will become part of the cultural norm, driven by necessity and cost, if nothing else. Water will be a main driver of economic development. Communities without water will not grow. Business development requires the availability of water, just like ranching and farming. Communities where it is scarce and costly will not attract companies that need it for their manufacturing processes.

All lectures are from 6:30 - 7:30PM at Red Butte Garden.

Please register at: www.extension.usu.edu/saltlake or call: 385.468.4824.

The goal of Red Butte Garden’s Water Conservation Garden is to help our community adopt water conservation practices faster, more efficiently, and more attractively than it otherwise would be. Red Butte Garden will use the Water Conservation Garden as a resource for staging programs, classes, and activities that focus on conserving water. It will also provide a resplendent example of how to create beautiful landscapes with minimal water usage.

Salt Lake County currently has one fine public water conservation garden, The Conservation Garden Park at 8215 South 1300 West in West Jordan. It is operated by the Jordan Valley Water Conservation District. I foresee a day when the Wasatch Front will have several such gardens for nearby homeowners, landscapers, commercial developers, designers, nurseries, and others to draw on for examples of how to landscape wisely, yet attractively, in a desert environment. That cultural shift in how we view and use water is in its nascent beginnings, but it has begun, and not a moment too soon.

Efficient Water & Resource Use in an Edible Garden

Water conservation practices are becoming increasingly necessary in Utah and surrounding states. Utah is the second driest state in the nation, and the need to reduce the amount of water we use to maintain our yards and gardens is imperative. As the popularity of growing food at home and in community gardens continues to increase, techniques that maximize yields while reducing water use have become more important. Despite the popular tendency to view reduced water use as a constraint on our lives, Red Butte Garden sees this as an opportunity.

Through careful planning and wise resource allocation we all can refine our garden maintenance and design practices to create beautiful, productive gardens using much less water.

By Fritz Kollmann, Horticulture Crew Leader that need the least amount of water. The middle hydrozone will contain plants that have low water needs but require a little more water to produce a crop; and the lowest portion of each basin will contain plants that require the most water.

Opantia littoralis var. martiniana

Plant placement within the basins will be dictated by the amount of water necessary for each plant to thrive.

Each basin will be divided in to three hydro-zones. The uppermost areas, nearest the pathways, will contain plants 4

Red Butte Garden

Also included in the planting selection are several crop plants that originated in other dry regions such as the Middle East and Mediterranean Basin. Native Utah plants including the Utah state grass, Indian Ricegrass (Oryzopsis hymenoides), once a staple food for Native Americans, will also be planted. Other fruiting trees will include quince, figs, and apricots. Perennial vegetables such as sea kale (Crambe maritima), asparagus (Asparagus officinalis ‘Atlas’), and garden sorrel (Rumex acetosa) will fill in between the shrubs and trees. Rounding out the plantings list are fine examples of drought tolerant vegetable varieties, which have their origin in drier regions, including wild chiltepines (chilies) from northern Mexico; Devil’s Claw (Proboscidea parviflora), native to the American southwest which yields edible seeds and pods; and New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides), which produces nutritious leaves throughout the summer when many leaf crops have gone to seed.

As a component of the Water Conservation Garden, the Desert Harvest Garden promises to be a very attractive addition to our already beautiful gardens. It will also act as a source of inspiration and education as we transition from the thirsty landscapes of today to landscapes that thrive with less water.

The Desert Harvest Garden, a component of the Water Conservation Garden now being constructed at Red Butte Garden, will provide an example of efficient water and resource use in an edible landscape. The goal is to demonstrate efficient use of water through thoughtful plant selection, careful plant placement, and a stormwater runoff catchment system.

Excess water from rainfall or irrigation is often lost as runoff. By utilizing a series of interconnected basins that passively direct water and nutrients to plants with greater needs, we will conserve water. The surrounding paved paths will be slightly sloped to direct water into adjacent beds designed as 18” deep catchment basins. The collected water will infiltrate the soil in the lower portions of the basins, soaking the soil deeply. The resulting concentration of water in the soil causes plants to develop deep roots, which increase the plant’s ability to withstand future droughts.

This process will also recharge groundwater stores.

The plants will be combined in a mutually beneficial manner to mitigate the stress on food crops grown in harsh climates. For example, roots of the apple trees will be shaded by the large silver leaves of Cardoon, which will prevent evaporation from the soil surface, and keep the soil cool. Dwarf Siberian pea shrubs, also planted in the area, will “fix” atmospheric nitrogen for the apple trees and other neighboring plants.

In addition to its nitrogen-fixing ability, the pea shrub is

WATER CONSERVATION GARDEN

A New Addition to Red Butte Garden

By Marita Tewes Tyrolt, Director of Horticulture

C

Construction of Red Butte Garden’s new Water Conservation Garden began this spring as we join the growing number of water-wise gardens in the west and in Utah. As a Botanical Garden, it is our responsibility to show a wide variety of plants that can be utilized in water-wise landscapes and to demonstrate that water conserving gardens can be full and beautiful.

The three-acre Water Conservation Garden will consist of several terraces showcasing multiple design themes and a variety of water-wise plants. Plants will be both native and non-native, water-wise or drought tolerant, and the palette will avoid species that are invasive in Utah, e.g. myrtle spurge.

This new garden will allow us to significantly increase our Utah Native and Penstemon collections, as well as increase several of our other collections, such as Rose, Lilac, Ornamental Grass, Crabapple, and Conifer. We will also display some of Utah’s threatened, endangered, and rare plants.

Through coming newsletters we will highlight the various spaces that will make up our new Water Conservation Garden. Here is a brief overview of each major garden space: Water-wise Border A water-wise version of an English border utilizing plantings with four-season color and texture from a broad range of plant types. Some plants include: Serbian Yarrow (Achillea serbica), Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora), Lavender (Lavandula), Palmer’s Penstemon (Penstemon palmeri), Rose (Rosa), Lilac (Syringa), Ninebark (Physocarpus), Evening Primrose (Oenothera), and Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles).

Penstemon palmari

Adaptive Beauty This terrace will show plants that help tell the story of water-conserving adaptations, such as: • Succulence: Utah Agave (Agave utahensis), Yucca (Yucca), Living Stone (Titanopsis), Pricklypear Cactus (Opuntia) • Summer dormancy: Bitterroot (Lewisia), Sego Lily (Calochortus) • Small or narrow foliage: Mormon Tea (Ephedra), Fairy Trumpet (Gilia), Bush Morning-glory (Ipomoea leptophylla) • Pubescent foliage: Butterfly bush (Buddleia), Buckwheat (Eriogonum), Jerusalem Sage (Phlomis) • Taproot: Prickly Poppy (Argemone), Fremont’s Mahonia (Mahonia fremontii), Desert Four-O’clock (Mirabilis)

Red Butte Garden

Environmental Exchange A space of water-wise alternatives to commonly used plants that require more water, such as Giant Sacaton Grass (Sporobolis wrightii) instead of Maiden Grass (Miscanthus), or Sulfur Buckwheat (Eriogonum) instead of Basket of Gold Alyssum (Aurinia).

Site of future Water Conservation Garden

Water Saver The largest terrace in the Water Conservation Garden will demonstrate species combinations that can be planted based on how little you want to water. Five water zones moving from north to south across the terrace will contain plants receiving water either: twice a week, once a week, twice a month, once a month, and a zone with no supplemental water provided after plant establishment.

Stable Slope A slope of water-wise plants that anchor or stabilize hillsides, using a variety of trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, and groundcovers.

Groundcover Tapestry Colorful water-wise groundcovers showing a range of heights, bloom time, and traffic tolerance will decorate a west-facing slope. Although the definition of a groundcover varies from person to person, ours will focus on the tall and colorful varieties.

Prospect Point A pavilion for small gatherings or simply enjoying the view while surrounded by colorful water-wise plants. The adjacent space will also include a rain garden, which will receive excess rainfall collected from the terraces located above. Plantings will include Lilac (Syringa), Daylily (Hemerocallis), Cherry and Apricot (Prunus), Ninebark (Physocarpus), Mockorange (Philadelphus), Butterflyweed (Asclepias), Iris (Iris), and Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa).

Flowering Shrub Hillside Colorful massings of water-wise shrubs, such as Smokebush (Cotinus), California Lilac (Ceanothus), Rockspirea (Holodiscus), New Mexico Locust (Robinia neomexicana), and Currant (Ribes) will adorn the hillside at the top of the Water Conservation Garden.

Gravel Garden The uppermost terrace will feature small herbaceous or succulent plants such as Stonecress (Aethionema), Globe Flower (Globularia), Sand Sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), Beardtongue (Penstemon), Pincushion Flower (Pterocephalus), Living Stone (Aloinopsis), Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium), and Globe Mallow (Sphaeralcea).

Desert Harvest This terrace will provide an example of efficient water and resource use in an edible garden. (See the Desert Harvest Garden article on page 4 by Fritz Kollmann, for more details.)

Like all our gardens, the Water Conservation Garden will evolve and change as more water-wise plants become available in the trade and through our testing and evaluation program. We hope you will be as excited as we are when this new garden is completed in 2016. www.redbuttegarden.org

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT Wednesday Mornings in the Garden

E

Every spring at Red Butte Garden, the staff has the distinct pleasure of watching 450,000 blooming bulbs announce the imminent arrival of spring. Trees begin to fill with blossoms, splashing the sky in color with their vibrant flowers, while buzzing bees hum around the blossoms. We inhale the scent of the lilacs and viburnum and return to the office with a touch of pollen sprinkled on our noses. As we enjoy and welcome these signs of life returning to the Garden, we also celebrate the presence of another eagerly anticipated sign of spring—the return of Red Butte Garden’s amazingly dedicated volunteers.

While the Garden’s greenhouse and curatorial volunteers have been hard at work since January, most of the volunteers take a winter hiatus. In early April each year, we excitedly welcome back approximately 150 horticulture volunteers who plant, prune, weed, mulch, and tirelessly attend to everything else required to maintain Red Butte Garden.

Many of these volunteers have been maintaining the Garden for years, but every year we welcome new volunteers to our ten horticulture teams.

The Wednesday morning Floral Walk/Rose Garden volunteer team is pretty typical—you can often hear them before you actually see them in the Garden. It is the collective sound of conversation and laughter of people hard at work—and perhaps a little play. It’s clear that they are all happy to be here. Volunteers like Sheri Eurick, Cherry Evertsen, and Linda Bergstrom were thrilled to find a garden to work in, as they don’t have their own at home. While for volunteers Kathy Brodsky, Lisa Waldon, and Cathy Jackman, volunteering at the Garden was a chance to meet people after moving here from out-of-state.

The Wednesday team is fairly diverse. The youngest, Willow Collins, is a teenage student and comes to volunteer with her brother, Nicholas, and mother, Nicole, throughout the summer, while the oldest team member is past retirement age. The dedication of volunteers Carol Smedley, Robin Olivares, Christena Gates, Ron Simmons, Peter and Susan 14

Fillmore, and Layne Nielsen round out the rest of the crew. The backgrounds, hometowns, and experiences of the individuals in the group stretch across the spectrum, but they found a common ground in the Floral Walk and Rose Garden, and each Wednesday morning throughout the season they meet there to provide essential assistance to the area’s horticulture lead staff, Crystal Kim and Cheryl Underwood.

Thank you to our Garden Members!

For all you do, we are grateful.

“The Wednesday crew is such a pleasure to work with,” says Crystal. “As individuals, they are each amazing…fun personalities, hard-working, intelligent, motivated. As a group, they are dynamic. They are a perfect example of ‘the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.’ They just have such an energy working together.”

Perhaps that energy comes from the fact that aside from just being crewmates, they’ve also become friends. When they found themselves continuing their conversations long after their shifts had ended, they decided they should have a little time together outside of volunteering. It started with casual lunches throughout the year, and then a small afterparty gathering following the annual December Volunteer Recognition Reception that has since become a tradition, hosted last December by Peter and Susan Fillmore. The regular laughter and chatter that you hear when encountering the Floral Walk/Rose Garden team is the final product of the crewmates-to-friends transition. Says Cherry, “We share our experiences, our knowledge, all in the name of friendship.”

If you have the pleasure of spending a Wednesday morning at Red Butte Garden, stop by to say hello and thank you to our dedicated volunteers who do so much to maintain the beauty of the Garden. When you have the pleasure of speaking to any of these wonderful people you’re bound to learn something new and perhaps even make a new friend.

Near the Water Pavilion is a large, painted wood trout created

by Greg Pearson with Dan Eliason for a Red Butte Garden curated exhibit held in 2001 called “Home Sweet Habitat.”

For this exhibit, Bri Matheson and Waldo Kidd created larger-than-life paper wasps that are currently on display in the Sprout House. Locals Joe Stetich and Cordel Taylor created a large metal bat that makes its annual appearance every October.

Some sculptures mimic nature—some complement it. In 1999, a local artist, the late Ursula Brodauf Craig, created The Butterfly Fountain for the Children’s Garden Butterfly Walk. Artist Lyman Whitaker of Southern Utah created an interactive piece titled Oval Twister Wind Sculpturetm found outside the Visitor Center on the pathway to the Orangerie.

There is a mystery among the Garden’s artistic inhabitants, casually referred to as Girl with Jar, a 12-inch tall, Romanesque bronze that can be found in the Fragrance Garden. The history of this piece is unknown.

families of Hope Fox Eccles, Spensor F. Eccles and Nancy Eccles Hayward. The garden is especially imaginative, and its artistic elements are easily accessed including three giant lizards, the rattlesnake fountain, metal flowers from the “Home Sweet Habitat” exhibit, the rattlesnake plant maze, the living caterpillar and stag topiaries, giant flower pot fireman’s pole, and a more recently installed whimsical sandbox fence covered with colorfully painted yard critters funded by the Ross Foundation in memory of Alfred and Frances Ross.

Also in the Children’s Garden is Joes’ Leaf Boat, a bronze sculpture by local artist Denis Smith. It was donated by the R. Harold Burton Foundation and installed in 2009. It sits in Granny’s Garden pond where children can hop along stones through the pond and get close to the fish, just like Joe.

Red Butte Garden celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year. In referencing historical memoranda we found a few interesting stories about sculpture in the Garden.

There are 12 sculptures and other artistic pieces on display throughout Red Butte Garden. The Garden acquired the art through gifts, purchases made after exhibits, funds from generous donations, and a partnership with the University of Utah Museum of Fine Arts.

Oak Sculpture

The Oak Sculpture is one of the iconic sculptures in the Garden as it visually represents the oak hybridization research of Dr. Walter Cottam, a University of Utah professor, whose vision was to have land dedicated for an arboretum and botanical garden. The sculpture, by local artist Willy Littig, was built for the grand opening of the Visitor Center. Installed 21 years ago, it was the first sculpture in the Garden.

Later in the 1990’s the Garden installed a single bronze deer by artist John B. Mortensen of Wilson, Wyoming. Red Butte Doe is nestled in the oaks across the path from the Water Pavilion. In about 2002, Mortensen also cast the bronze pieces called A Moose Family consisting of a large male Moose resting, while the mother and baby Moose stand in the pond below. The set was funded by John W. and Helen B. Jarman in memory of Helen Brown Jarman.

Red Butte Garden

In June 2002, an exhibit from Zimbabwe called “Chapungu” brought amazing stone sculptures to the Garden. David Chidumo, curator of the exhibit, was quoted in the Deseret News saying, “The stone is full of life. It has its own spirit.

The artists simply take away the unwanted parts.” The Rainbird sculpture from that exhibit, by Moveti Manzi, was donated to the Garden through the generosity of Zeke and Kay Dumke. It is now an icon located on the Dumke Floral Walk near the western entrance to the Fragrance Garden.

Bathing Girl

Another piece sculpted from the hard stones of Africa is Bathing Girl by Gregory Mutasa, another Chapungu artist from Zimbabwe. This piece can be found in the Water Pavilion Garden, east of the pond. It is a gift from Irene Oliekan in memory of Herman and Cora K. Oliekan.

Sandstone Etchings in Courtyard

Le Mont Rouge, by internationally known artist John Henry, was installed in September of 2010. Le Mont Rouge was purchased by the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) in 2008 with the intent of installing it near the Marcia and John Price Museum Building. However, the large size of the sculpture (23’ x 21’ x 10’) made it difficult to place at that location.

Luckily, at the same time, Red Butte Garden made known its desire to add permanent outdoor sculpture to the Garden, so it was a natural fit to install it near the Amphitheatre on Red Butte Canyon Road. It was originally titled Sun Devil, but having the name of a rival PAC-12 college mascot on the U of U campus made little sense so the artist dedicated an alternate name that suits the site well. It provides community access to contemporary art, a concept important to both UMFA and Red Butte Garden.

The Children’s Garden, dedicated on April 25, 1999, holds many charming artistic features thanks to the generous contributions of many, including the Emma Eccles Jones Foundation, The R. Harold Burton Foundation, The Willard L. Eccles Charitable Foundation, Janet Q. Lawson and

In the Garden’s Courtyard there are several sandstone etchings depicting local plants drawn by late artist Mary Lou Romney. She also designed the sculpted sego lily at the base of the fountain in the Courtyard with its brass detail; all are worth noticing.

The next piece planned for Red Butte Garden is Damara’s Gift, a sculpture named after a Celtic goddess known to rule over youth, innocence, and imagination. The piece by local artist Colour Maisch will be fabricated and installed in the Garden once it is fully funded.

We have established the “Art In The Garden Society” dedicated to add “sprinkles” to the experience of visiting Utah’s Botanical Garden and Arboretum. For more information about how you can join this group and bring more art and sculpture to Red Butte Garden please contact Kathryn Atwood at: 801.585.5658.
