The gardens and the arboretum, which actually includes the campus with its 8,000 trees of more than 300 species and varieties, are living proof that the goal of diversity is being met. The campus display of tree varieties ranges from Siberian Elms to European Beaches to Japanese Pagoda trees. If you are blossoms. The gardens also provide a quiet walk along the gently sloped paths, many of them groomed to allow handicapped access, that follow a creek to a waterfall and pass beyond it to a wildflower-carpete- d meadow. But if you want more than just a quiet stroll and prefer not to be one of those who, like myself, "cannot distinguish Leptosiphon hybridus from Kaulfussia amelloides," the arboretum offers plenty of opportunities to alleviate ignorance. One of these is the Thursday Garden Series, Get-togeth- which, in Hildreth's words, "brings together companies from Research Park, the medical center, Pioneer Trail State Park, Hansen Planetarium, Hogle Zoo and campus gardening." The series, held on the Red Butte Garden's includes a Sept. stage lawn, presentation on "Common Reptile Life of the 21 Great Basin" by Bob Larson from the reptile department at Hogle Zoo.

The variety of workshops, seminars and classes scheduled for autumn also reflect diversity. Saturday workshops range from drying, preserving and arranging provides field classes and tours, including a bus tour guided by Hildreth, to view Utah's colorful fall pageant; a look at the moon and the stars; and a class in "Plant Appreciation: The Mountain for Temple Square, on "Fall wreaths and preparing for the holiday season. Hildreth said the arboretum also Man's Viewpoint." While the workshops, seminars and classes are available for a low fee, Red Butte Gardens is free to students and the public.
