The Idaho Botanical Garden is more than just a garden. This 33-acre space is also a living museum, a youth education center, an event venue, and a cultural hub in the heart of Boise. With the spring wildflowers in full bloom, now is one of the best times to visit the garden.

Spring is a great season to visit the Idaho Botanical Garden, and our real estate agents are here to be your tour guides! These are just a few of the can't-miss sights and events you should catch at the Idaho Botanical Garden this season: 

• Garden Tours
  Exploring the rich plant life at the Idaho Botanical Garden is always a great way to spend a day in Boise. Visitors can take a self-guided tour any day of the week between 9 am and 5 pm. It usually takes 60 to 90 minutes to stroll through the grounds and see all the major features, but you may be tempted to linger in many of the themed garden areas. Guided Tours are also available for groups of 10 or more and can be planned in advance by reservation. The gardens are located on Old Penitentiary Road in Boise, just minutes from many Boise homes for sale.
  
  
• Summer Concert Series
  Some of the most exciting events of the year at the Idaho Botanical Garden take place during the Outlaw Field Summer Concert Series. Outlaw Field is the large outdoor live music and event space at the Idaho Botanical Garden, and it hosts a wide range of live performances throughout the summer months. Upcoming concerts to look forward to in 2022 include Lord Huron (May 29), Ween (June 28), and the Avett Brothers (July 12). 
  
  
• Classes and Workshops
  If you've ever wanted to learn more about nature and develop your own green thumb, the Idaho Botanical Garden is a great place to do so. Workshops and Classes are available at the garden throughout the calendar year, offering learners of all ages unique opportunities to acquire skills ranging from growing vegetables and arranging spring wildflowers to bird identification and plant photography. Upcoming offerings change with the seasons, so be sure to check the Idaho Botanical Garden's events calendar to see what's coming up!
  
  
• Garden Sculpture & Art
  The Idaho Botanical Garden is as much an art gallery as it is a garden, and you'll find one-of-a-kind sculptures and art scattered throughout its landscape. Some of the most fascinating are the salvaged scrap metal sculptures of Dr. Maximilian Kaslo, which are located throughout the garden. All told, there are dozens of artworks scattered across the garden, representing more than 15 individual artists. 
  
  
• Youth Learning Opportunities
  Few things are more gratifying than visiting the Idaho Botanical Garden with kids and watching them learn and explore as they develop their relationship with the natural world. There are always exciting Learning Opportunities for Kids at the Idaho Botanical Garden, including garden play dates, field trips, and week-long summer nature camps. Registration is still open for this summer's nature camps, which include themes like "Outback Idaho," "Pollinator Patrol," and "Garden Explorers."
