appreciated, Thanksgiving Garden covers 55 acres. Utah landscape architect
Leonard Grassli designed a series of gardens motivated by themes: The

the Secret Garden, the Italian Garden, the Butterfly Garden, the Parterre
Garden, the Vista Garden, and the Waterfall Garden. We also added our
Children’s Discovery Garden, which has been a wonderful delight
for visiting families.
