The Utah Botanical Center is a botanical garden located in Kaysville, Utah, and is a Utah State University (USU) distance education site. Originally located in Farmington, the garden moved to the current location in Kaysville in 1999.[1]
Through USU Extension, the center offers a Giving Garden, a 12,000 acre community farm. The farm is maintained by community members and all produce is donated to local food banks.[2] The center offers a farmers market from July through October which features local produce, gourmet foods, and artisans.[3]
Construction for the Utah House, a demonstration project of an energy efficient home, was completed in 2003 at a cost of $.5 Million. The 2,300 square-foot house recycles waste water and rain runoff and has straw-bale walls.[4]
