The Idaho Botanical Garden (IBG) is a nonprofit botanical garden located on at 2355 North Old Penitentiary Road, Boise, Idaho, USA. Until 1973 the site served as the Old Idaho State Penitentiary's farm and nursery. After the penitentiary was closed, the land lay dormant for more than a decade, and in 1984 the gardens were first created. The facility is operated by a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. To help fund the garden, an admission fee is charged for entry. ==Gardens== * Alpine Garden - Rock garden with a diverse collection of alpine plants. * Cactus Garden - cactus and succulents suited to southwest Idaho. * English Garden - plants typical to English gardens, selected to perform in the local climate.
