Kids may have gone back to school, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stay indoors. Utah probably has another month or two of beautiful weather ahead. In fact, the summer heat should be leaving us soon making time outside, so much more enticing. Red Butte Garden has great garden workshops and design ideas to keep you outdoors long into the fall.
