Thanks to the generous support of the Roy A. Hunt Foundation, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden offers year-round workshops and lectures for adults on a variety of garden and environmentally-related topics.
Our annual Speaker Series hosts a variety of lectures and workshops given by nationally known experts including botanists, horticulturists and landscape designers.
Darcy Williamson is Idaho's leading expert on native plants and their medicinal properties. She is the author of 'Healing Plants of the Rocky Mountains' and has been a high mountain herbalist and instructor for over 30 years.

Rosalind Creasy - On Edible Landscaping
TBA
Rosalind Creasy is a garden and food writer, photographer, and landscape designer with a passion for beautiful vegetables and ecologically sensitive gardening. Her first book, 'The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping', was published back in 1982 and was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as the best gardening book of that same year. Considered a classic, it coined the term “edible landscaping” and in 1988 she went on to introduce the American public to a vast new palette of vegetables including the then unknown: heirloom tomatoes and melons, mesclun salad greens, and the blue potatoes and corn we now take for granted in her follow up book,'Cooking From the Garden'.
Today, Rosalind continues to share her knowledge of the garden to the table relationship in her regular column for the food page of the Los Angeles Times, a feature for Garden Design magazine, a regular column for Gardening How-To magazine, and is a contributing editor for Country Living Gardener magazine. Her photographs appear frequently in numerous magazines, calendars, and books.
