The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is pleased to serve the community as a high altitude/steppe zone botanical garden and an educational center. Over 7,000 people have visited the Garden this year. Several youth groups including Brownies, Girl Scouts and school students volunteer regularly at the Garden and adult volunteers have donated over 1,500 hours this year to plant seedlings, weed, teach workshops, and staff the Bug Zoo, the Garden Tour and Party and the Compassion Garden.
The Compassion Garden, a new addition is the permanent site for a 400lb. Tibetan Prayer Wheel donated to the Wood River Valley in recognition of the visit of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama in September, 2005. The Prayer Wheel is at the center of a Contemplative Garden designed by renowned landscape architect, Martin Mosko of Marpa Associates. The Compassion Garden has a reflecting pond with a 3 ft. crystal, a stunning water feature and 16 huge boulders representing the 16 Arhats - the protectors of the Dalai Lama. It is a beautiful garden for all to come, reflect, and find peace.
The 5-acre site (including the greenhouse & community room) is available for wedding, party and event rentals. During the Summer and Fall the gardens are in full bloom and make a fabulous backdrop for any occasion.
The Sawtooth Botanical Garden has year round children’s programs including camps, a Fall Harvest Festival, a Winter Festival and a Spring Bug Zoo.
The Sawtooth Botanical Garden has year round adult programs and educational activities including lecture series and workshops.
