Review:

Located on Old Penitentiary Road, the Idaho Botanical Garden is a garden sitting on 50 acres of land that was formerly the farm and nursery of the Old Idaho State Penitentiary. After ten years of sitting vacant, the garden was created in 1984. The garden is made up of a large variety of separate gardens, including the Alpine Garden, the Cactus Garden, and the English Garden.

The garden offers many classes and workshops like Garden on the Road and Nature Detective. It also hosts numerous events such as musical performances, Foothills Walk, Grow the Garden Party, and more.
