The Idaho Botanical Garden is a private, non-profit organization based in Boise, Idaho, operating without state or federal funding. It serves as a year-round outdoor venue that supports plant collections, education programs, and a range of cultural, entertainment, and community events, functioning as a living museum on the historic site of the former state penitentiary tree nursery. The garden provides experiences aimed at fostering an appreciation for nature and intellectual curiosity across all ages, and it also hosts weddings and private events in a scenic setting at the foot of the Boise Foothills.

Its activities and partnerships emphasize community engagement and education, with programs and events designed to enhance local quality of life and address community needs through garden-based learning and public programming. The organization relies on contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations, as well as site rentals, to support its operations and programming. A recent development includes a collaboration to offer Master Gardener Mini Lessons, a free educational series hosted for Garden guests over Saturdays during the summer season.
