Conference Center Rooftop Gardens
It’s hard to believe that the Conference Center Roof Gardens sit atop one of the city’s largest buildings. This elevated green space (nearly three acres!) evokes the natural landscapes of Utah and gives visitors a place to appreciate the beauty of creation.
The gardens feature a wide variety of native grasses, wildflowers, and trees, chosen to reflect the surrounding mountains and desert valley. Flowing water adds to the scene and soundscape. Special lightweight planting materials make it possible for trees, lawns, and gardens to thrive in this rooftop place.
Open to self-guided exploration and guided tours, the Conference Center Roof Gardens invite a unique perspective on Temple Square and the surrounding city.
