Red Butte Garden

Hello Everyone, I’m Jimmy Turner, the new Executive Director of your Garden. I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you what has been happening at the Garden for the last few months. I arrived in Utah on Friday, March 13 from Sydney, Australia, with four suitcases, my partner Toby, and two pets.

Coincidentally, this was the same day Red Butte Garden closed to the public.

On March 23, I officially stepped into this wonderful role left by the remarkable Dr. Greg Lee. For the last six years, I served as the Director of Horticulture in Sydney for three botanic gardens and three parks—the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, The Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah, The Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, The Domain, Centennial Parklands, and Moore Park.

It was an amazing experience and honor to work there, but if you think you’ll hear an Aussie accent from me, I’m sorry to disappoint. I’m a native Texan, and unfortunately my southern drawl didn’t change one bit during my stay in the land down under. Prior to moving to Australia, I was the Senior Director of Gardens for the Dallas Arboretum in Dallas, Texas, for ten years, leading the horticulture and design of that garden.

Even with the closure of the Garden, cancellations of our plant sale, concert series, and summer camps—and all the other changes we’ve had to implement due to COVID-19—I could not be more excited to be the new Executive Director of Red Butte Garden. Shortly after stepping into the role, the outpouring of support and love of the Garden from our sponsors, donors, and members was proof that we’d made a great decision moving here. This has definitely not been the start I had imagined in this role, but it was quickly apparent to me that the Garden is a sacred and beloved space for the community.

Meanwhile, the Garden continues to grow and thrive as you’ll read in this issue of your newsletter. Our gorgeous Sarah J. McCarthey & Family Rose Garden, which is home to 142 cultivars and six species of roses, is truly stunning this year. To be truthful, I’ve never lived anywhere that roses grew well, and I’m in awe of how great they do here in Salt Lake City. Prior to the shutdown, the Programs team introduced nearly 5,000 budding botanists to our Grow Lab program, and they have shifted our outreach to online programming to keep kids and adults informed and educated while isolated at home. Our amazing Conservation and Research program is continuing to work on the four corners potato in partnership with Utah Diné Bikéyah. We may have been closed for a short time, but all the staff here at Red Butte Garden love what they do and have been working tirelessly to prepare for our reopening.

The Garden will weather this rough period and regrow. Unfortunately, the biggest impact on our operation has been borne by the staff. We are almost completely self-funded, and the loss of revenue from our concerts and visitation has required the hard decision of placing the majority of staff on furlough and decreased hours. This year may be about subsistence in the Garden, but we are hopeful that next year will see us operating as usual again.

I hope to greet you in the Garden very soon, and I would be honored if you would consider renewing your membership or supporting the staff of Red Butte Garden in any small way. It is times like these that remind me of one of my favorite quotes from Robert Louis Stevenson, “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.”

Jimmy Turner, Executive Director redbuttegarden.org

Red Butte Garden

Red Butte Garden is the largest botanical garden in the Intermountain West, and together with the University of Utah, a state arboretum.

The Garden is renowned for its plant collections, themed gardens, over 500,000 springtime blooming bulbs, a world-class outdoor summer concert series, and awardwinning horticulture-based educational programs.

RED BUTTE GARDEN PROGRAMS BLOOMING ONLINE Springtime in Red Butte Garden means a new growing season and a fresh crop of students more than ready to be outdoors. But this spring is different. Like people and organizations all over the world, the Garden staff is adapting to a new and unfamiliar environment.

In years past, the Programs department started March by dispatching educators to schools across the state with the ever-popular Grow Lab that reaches nearly 5,000 budding botanists each school year. With schools closed and forced to go digital, our education team swiftly moved the outreach program online.

This was a challenge as the Garden has traditionally developed classes designed to engage all five senses to teach about plants and their life cycles. Students were able to get their hands in the soil and feel the seeds between their fingers. Going online meant implementing new technology not previously used to deliver such materials, but the school programs team was up to the task. They set up a studio to digitally record and observe the life cycles of plants.

In April and May of 2019, the Garden hosted 250 students per day, ranging from kindergarten through sixth grade. Our staff looks forward to the opportunity to meet these students and help them explore the Garden through hands-on inquiry and science-based activities aligned with the state science standards. To reach these students remotely, the school programs team began feverishly working from home to create virtual modules and life science curriculum resources for teachers to access online. We were able to adapt all of our field classes to include interactive presentations and printable student workbooks—just in time for field trip season. These resources are now available on the Utah Education Network website, where teachers can access a wide range of virtual science offerings from Red Butte Garden and other informal science educators. redbuttegarden.org

In June, summer camps, Garden Adventures, and Lil’ Buds bring a rush of families and youth to the Garden. While we are not able to host in-person activities, the Programs team created options to fill the void. Each week we are publishing new engaging, fun STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities called Boredom Busters. You can find these on our website, and they are guaranteed to get your family outside and exploring the natural world and the plants near you. As a bonus, each activity uses a minimal amount of supplies, which you can find around the house, yard, or neighborhood.

Red Butte Garden’s adult classes have also moved online. A variety of subjects are offered, including garden maintenance, cooking, and wellness classes. We are offering live streaming yoga from different Garden locations three times a week, starting in June. We are also excited to provide an online cooking course with Purnima Ghandi, who has taught cooking in our Herb Garden since 2007.

The online cooking class—tested and vetted by a number of staff— will be interactive as students will follow along with Purnima and then be able to treat themselves to a home-cooked Indian meal.

Red Butte Garden’s setting is both unique and beautiful. Nestled against the foothills, each visit gives us a chance to explore the vast acres of the Garden and also enjoy grand views of the Wasatch Mountains, meadows, creeks, and the bustling city below us. It is no wonder we are drawn to it. Until we can safely and responsibly return, please enjoy the digital offerings we’ve created.

We hope it won’t be long until we are able to welcome you back.

Red Butte Garden

Diné farmer Lucretia Holiday talks about establishing her garden for the four corners potato with (L to R) Cynthia Wilson (Director of UDB's Traditional Foods Program) and farmers Frances Sheppard and Britt Tallis.

GROWING THE FOUR CORNERS POTATO ON TRIBAL LANDS Food sovereignty, nutrition, and poverty are issues that deeply affect the Native people of the Four Corners region. By partnering with Utah Diné Bikéyah (UDB), Red Butte Garden (RBG) is bringing its expertise to Tribal lands of the Navajo and Hopi to help grow and market the four corners potato (Solanum jamesii), or 4CP. Last year we tested methods for increasing 4CP productivity with raised beds constructed near the Garden's greenhouses in Cottom’s Grove, a project funded by a US Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop grant. Seven Indigenous farmers from Diné and Puebloan traditions came to the Garden at planting and harvest times to learn what we knew about the biology and archaeology of this native species. In exchange, we learned what the farmers knew about a long cultural history of use and the spiritual importance of the 4CP as a lifeway medicine.

We also sent five samples of 4CP to an accredited nutritional analysis laboratory, along with a sample of store-bought, organic red potatoes for comparison.

The samples, representing Escalante, Bears Ears, and Mesa Verde sources, had three times the protein; twice the vitamin B1, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and iron; and more than 1.5 times the dietary fiber as the red potatoes.

The content of fats, potassium, and sodium was the same, but total carbohydrate content, and therefore calories, was higher. The difference in carbohydrate content (starch and sugars) may be the reason why the four corners potato doesn’t fall apart when boiled for hours, making it perfect for nutritious soups.

This year we have begun establishing potato gardens on reservation lands near Monument Valley, Utah and Leupp, Arizona. The challenges of water, soil, and climate require investments in irrigation systems, composting, and greenhouses.

In this case, funding came from a Native American agricultural fund grant that was coauthored by UDB and RBG. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed full installation, farmers will be able to produce their first 4CP crops in large pots and tuber towers in 2020. The crops will be sold to select restaurants in Garfield and San Juan counties for use in special culinary events. Hopefully, construction of the gardens will take place in October if pandemic conditions allow.

All precautions to prevent spread of coronavirus were followed and all of our partners (and their potatoes) are doing well.

Dr. Bruce Pavlik is the Conservation Director at Red Butte Garden.

Dr. Lisbeth Louderback is a curator of archaeology at the Natural History Museum of Utah.

The challenges of water, soil, and climate will be met with the installation of new facilities.

JUNE IN THE ROSE GARDEN June is National Rose Month and the best time of year to enjoy roses. The Sarah J. McCarthey & Family Rose Garden, located inside Red Butte Garden, is at its peak in early June when all the roses show off their first bloom of the summer. For many roses, including those that bloom repeatedly throughout the summer, the first bloom is the biggest and best. Once-blooming roses, which include many wild roses and old garden roses (roses that existed before 1867), are also blooming at the same time. The result is a dramatic show of gorgeous color and fragrance that only happens once a year. Of course, since most of the roses are repeat-blooming, there will be color and beauty throughout the summer and even into fall.

The Rose Garden is home to 142 cultivated varieties of roses and six wild species. Ten classes of roses are represented—from modern types such as hybrid tea, floribunda, grandiflora, and shrub, to old-fashioned types such as alba, gallica, damask, and polyantha. Each class has unique characteristics and beauty. Although many old garden roses only bloom once, their old-fashioned, often highly fragrant blooms add romance to the early summer garden.

The Rose Garden includes many other plants blooming alongside the roses that highlight and complement the beauty of the roses and garden beds. These perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs, and small trees, as well as spring-blooming bulbs, extend the flowering season and add interest when roses are resting between bloom periods.

As you walk through the Rose Garden, or your own garden or neighborhood, take a closer look at the roses around you. At first glance, many roses look the same, but pay attention to the unique characteristics of the blooms—the size of the bloom, the number of petals, if the flowers are held singly or in clusters, and whether the petals curve redbuttegarden.org

inward to hide the center of the flower or if they open fully to reveal the stamens. Notice if the color changes from the outside to the inside of the flower or as the flower ages. Take time to smell the rose and note how strongly is it scented and what it reminds you of—classic rose scent, musk, tea leaves, or fruit such as citrus or apple. Look at the thorns—how densely they cover the canes, if they are curved or straight, if they are green or some other color. Look closely at the foliage as well—whether the leaves are large and coarse or small and finer-textured, if the surface is glossy or matte, if they are light or dark green, or have blue or red tones. You may also notice that some leaves are bronzy or reddish as they newly emerge from buds.

Whether you consider yourself a rose lover or not, take time this summer to take in the beauty around you. And in recognition of National Rose Month, think about starting your own rose garden and enjoy the splendor of this most cherished flower.

Red Butte Garden

Victory gardens come in all shapes and sizes—from raised beds shown here, to small planters and pots on patios and decks.

MAKING A MODERN DAY VICTORY GARDEN A victory garden is a concept developed from both World Wars I and II when home and community gardens were grown to provide food during a time of scarcity in the United States and allied countries. Homeowners, schools, public lands, and even businesses were encouraged to grow fruits and vegetables to help support their communities, while many farmers and the food they produced were sent overseas to contribute to the war efforts.

Today we have an opportunity to similarly support ourselves and contribute to our communities by growing food at home. The act of gardening provides multiple benefits—gardening can lift spirits and influence emotional well-being. Growing your own food can save money. Eating nutritious food contributes to better health and strong bodies, and sharing food can strengthen our relationships and sense of community. We can take this opportunity to make connections through food in a new way until such time that we are able to sit around the same table once again.

Make it Nutritious—Include Balance and Diversity Balanced nutrition is important to support good overall health. In planning your home garden, consider the nutritional value each food provides and grow a variety of items to ensure you are getting balanced nutrition. Variety also gives greater options for what dishes you can make and keeps your menu interesting. redbuttegarden.org

Make it Tasty—Sprinkle in the Herbs Many herbs are easy to grow and bring rich flavor and nutrition to a home-cooked meal.

Some herbs are perennials and can grow in your garden from year to year. Other herbs are annuals and will not survive Utah winters.

Make it Pretty and Productive—Add Flowers for Health and Habitat For those who want to maximize their harvest, it is easy to try to fill every square inch of the garden with veggies and fruits and leave flowers out of the mix. However, some of our best home-grown crops require pollination by bees and other insects in order to produce. Planting a variety of flowering plants can help attract bees and other beneficial insects that will pollinate your crops and help control pests. Many of these flowers are edible or have medicinal benefits, and they will add renewed appeal to your harvest.

Make it Last—Produce Food for This Season and the Next Even a small home garden can provide a great abundance of food throughout the year.

Fast growing crops like lettuce and radishes can be directly seeded in the garden early and often to get continuous harvest. This method is referred to as succession sowing and will get veggies from garden to kitchen early, fast, and often.

Some crops may take longer to reach harvest but store well for several weeks, or even months, under the right conditions. Some great storing food crops include onion, winter squash, pumpkins, garlic, and potatoes.

Another way to make your harvest last is through processing and preserving. Home grown crops can be processed in a variety of ways to make them store for several days, weeks, or even months and longer. Many of these methods are simple, inexpensive, and require minimal tools and materials.

Red Butte Garden

Make it Fun, Fulfilling, and Physical—Good for Mind, Spirit, and Body Gardening at home can provide many benefits to our mental, emotional, and physical wellness. Spending time outdoors and interacting with nature reduces stress. Working to provide for your family can be emotionally uplifting and provide a sense of purpose. And gardening is exercise, which is critical to maintaining good physical health.

Adding art and whimsy to your garden can make it inviting and peaceful. The sounds of running water in a fountain, the music from windchimes, along with nature’s symphony of rustling leaves and bird songs, can make your garden a place of meditation and relaxation. Homemade ornaments, plant labels, trellises, or other garden structures can make the space feel special. Many of these items can be made indoors at home on a rainy or hot day, and keep you in touch with your garden even when you are stuck inside.

As with any other type of exercise, safety is important. In planning your garden, consider your personal abilities and limitations, and create a space that is suitable for you. Raised beds can help limit bending and back strain. Making beds no wider than 3-5 feet will limit the need to reach. Using tools to your advantage can help prevent overexertion or muscle strain. Knee pads or something soft to kneel on can spare you pain later. Wearing gloves can protect your skin from over drying, cuts and scrapes, and bacteria in the soil like tetanus. Wearing long pants and sleeves, sunscreen, and a hat, and staying hydrated will protect you from the sun and drying winds.

Your Own Personal Victory Whether you choose to garden for food, family, fun, or some other reason, take this opportunity to claim your own victory. Victory in providing nutrition for you and your family. Victory in staying healthy. Victory through community and sharing. Victory for the future. Grow your garden and be victorious!

Visit our website redbuttegarden.org/victory-garden to learn more about the nutritional benefits of herbs, fruits and veggies, and edible flowers.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS April was volunteer appreciation month, and although we were unable to celebrate Red Butte Garden’s 500+ volunteers in person, we want to send a shout out of gratitude for all they do for the Garden. We appreciate their tireless efforts and dedication.

Red Butte Garden volunteers contribute more than 35,000 hours each year keeping our events, tours, summer camps, and horticulture efforts running smoothly. Right now, many volunteers are spending their time sewing hundreds of colorful face coverings available to Garden guests for a small donation.

We are sincerely grateful for the compassion and generosity that is selflessly dedicated to our Garden and community. On behalf of all of us at Red Butte Garden, thank you for all you do to keep us growing.
