About us

The Idaho Botanical Garden is a private, non-profit corporation existing without state or federal funding. The garden is completely dependent on tax-deductible contributions from community-minded citizens, corporations, foundations, and site rental. The Mission of the Idaho Botanical Garden is to provide a full garden experience for all ages that enhances community quality of life through plant collections, our education programs, and our entertainment, cultural and community events. Located in Boise’s Old Penitentiary Historic District, the Idaho Botanical Garden is dedicated to enhancing our community’s quality of life through fostering a love of nature and developing intellectual curiosity in people of all ages. Originally the site of the tree nursery and grounds of the State Penitentiary, the Garden is a living museum. The Garden provides enriching garden experiences through educational programs, botanical collections, a variety of entertainment, cultural and community events. It is also a refreshing and inspiring year-round outdoor destination for local residents and out-of-town visitors. Nestled at the base of the Boise Foothills, the Idaho Botanical Garden offers a beautiful location to host weddings, celebrate birthdays and hold private events. Each year, the Garden invites the community to a variety of events that highlight the Garden through music, art, and seasonal celebrations.

  • It was truly an honor to be selected as one of the Boise Metro Chamber’s featured non-profit arts and culture organizations at their 2024 Gala. The opportunity to showcase our work among our peer group and connect with the community was incredibly rewarding. Having Erin Anderson, the Executive Director of the Idaho Botanical Garden, as one of the night’s emcees made the event even more special. Her passion for the arts and dedication to the community shone brightly, creating an inspiring atmosphere that celebrated creativity and non-profit collaboration. We are grateful for this recognition and excited to continue our mission in connecting people, plants, and nature! #boisemetrochamber #idahobotanicalgarden #community #nonprofits #boiseartsandculture
