The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is a community resource that connects people to this region's unique beauty and fosters environmental stewardship.
The Gardens
Spanning 5 acres, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden is organized around five major gardens representing the five biomes of south-central Idaho—Sagebrush Steppe, Lava, Alpine, Montane and Riparian. Throughout the property, you’ll find art installations, educational beds, and some very special spaces including the Sawtooth Sandbox, the Garden of Of Infinite Compassion, the Prayer Wheel and, of course, our Visitor Center and Greenhouse.

The gardens and grounds are open to the public from dawn until dusk daily—year round. If the front entry gate is closed, you are welcome to enter, just please leave the gate as you found it. The gate is latched to keep opportunistic ungulates from eating our foliage.
