Scarecrow Walk

Kick off fall with a fun, family-friendly stroll through the USU Botanical Center! Each year we partner with local businesses, organizations, and individuals to bring you a delightful display of scarecrows hidden along our scenic paths. Come and witness the vibrant autumn colors in the Varga Arboretum and celebrate the harvest season in our demonstration gardens.

This event is FREE to the public, but we ask that you only visit during our open hours of dawn to dusk. The event runs for 10 days. A prize will be awarded for the most popular scarecrow, so make sure to look for the numbers and QR codes to vote for your favorite!

This year we will kick-off our event on a Saturday with a Scarecrow 5K at 9 AM and official festivities beginning at 10 AM! All are welcome and encouraged to join us in celebrating our scarecrow display with food trucks, live music, a pet costume contest, a kids' area and more.

More details and registration for the 5K are coming soon!
