The Idaho Botanical Garden is a living museum dedicated to furthering science education within the scenic setting of its outdoor classroom and into the community.  Our goal is to nurture a child's fascination with the world of biology through a variety of educational presentations including school field trips, spring and winter programs for pre-school age children, summer botany camps and adult/child craft workshops.

Pre-registration is required for all classes.


See the links below for the different youth education programs.  Please call (208) 343-8649 for additional  information or to make a reservation.
