Autumn Bloom Showcase

September 23-26, 2026

Autumn brings stunning displays to Ashton Gardens as vibrant sunflowers, mums, ornamental kale, dahlias, and roses bring the gardens to life with rich autumn colors. While you explore, enjoy hands-on activity stations featuring watercolor painting, scent testing, seed observation, bird watching, flower crafts, and interactive science experiences that uncover the fascinating world of plants.

Complete a garden scavenger hunt, explore inspiring displays from the Utah Dahlia Society, learn from dahlia-growing experts, take home fresh-cut flowers, and return for the popular cut-flower sale on September 28–29 while supplies last. Every showcase ticket includes a return pass for the cut dahlia and sunflower sale, while supplies last.
