In Salt Lake, we’re all fools for April. Collectively, we’ve decided it’s spring whether or not the weather agrees. Here’s what to check out this month.

If you’re planning a summer wedding, consider a unique bouquet option. Chelbie Glassworks offers a two-day stained glass class where you’ll craft three flower stems. You can either choose from patterns or create your own.

Switch up your usual iced coffee order with a matcha at JJ Coffee. Their spring menu features matcha slushies, matcha cloud (coconut water and matcha cold foam) and coconut water matcha (like a matcha latte with coconut water instead of milk).

If you started your spring gardening and have some extra plants/seedlings to share, head to the Marmalade library on April 18 for a plant swap. The rules are simple: bring some, take some. The library will also have some pots, soil, gardening tools, and plants available.

April is the perfect time to take a guided walking tour with Preservation Utah, because it’s not too hot and it’s not too cold, all you need is a light jacket. Learn the local history behind the Salt Lake City and County building or the meditation chapel in Memory Grove.

Help Pets in Need

  • Tats for Cats: Get a cat-themed tattoo on April 18 at Fallen Angel Tattoos in West Jordan. Proceeds support Salt Lake County Animal Services. Also, adoptable pets will be there.
  • Pucks for Paws: Grab tickets to a Utah Mammoth game on April 9 or April 14 and a portion goes to the Humane Society of Utah. You’ll also get a Mammoth dog toy!
