Just amazing to see in the heart of the desert. Really neat gardens and settings to enjoy as a day trip with the family.

We went here in April and flowers were just starting to bloom. it is a lovely relaxing place for a nice walk around the area. I would love to see it in May/June when it was in full bloom!
Finally found time to drive into Boise around Christmas to see the Idaho Botanical Gardens. Great way for the entire family to spend a evening and get into the Christmas Spirit. We may make this an annual ritual.
If you can, go during Spring...the aroma is wonderful! I went to a wedding and reception that was held here, and I recommend it for that as well!
Unless you want to see the garden's bones, which might be useful and educational. We looked through the gate and decided not to spend $10.00 to roam over what looked extensive but still quite dormant. The gatekeeper said pretty much that there was not much to see at this time.. Lots do books and tools to buy inthe shop, however.
As a peaceful break from the city, we thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely walk through an interesting, delightful and nicely laid-out offering of Idaho's native flora. It was time well-spent and we look forward to returning!
The Garden is actually a series of gardens - a rose garden, the English Garden, Meditation Garden, native plants garden and more. It is a popular location for weddings and summer concerts.
This is one of my favorite places in town. Maybe my favorite. The events here are fantastic (music, harvest festival, lights at christmas, bug day). It is close to the old penn and the hike to table rock. I take all out of town guests here.
In August of this year I got tickets to an outdoor concert at this venue. There in not a bad seat anywhere. Just spread a blanket out, open your picnic basket and enjoy. By the way, the concert I saw was Crosby Stills and Nash. They put on a great show. The music sounded just as if I put in...

Every year they have a beautiful night display. The lights and colors and glow are wonderful. It is a great evening stroll, especially if you have children.
