This botanical garden is small but mighty! I had passed on it the last couple times I was in the area due to time restrictions, but you should just go. It doesn't take long to walk through, but still very beautiful and worth the stop. Especially great is the doggie memorial, and of course the beautiful prayer wheel.
This place was a beautiful and peaceful place. The gardens are so well taken care of. The staff was super friendly and informative. We especially liked the area dedicated to the Dali Lama, who blessed these gardens and the pet memorial cemetery. These gardens are pet friendly and our dog loved it. If you are traveling near Ketchum, you've got to stop. Lived it.
Small but a good time! The staff member was very kind and took out the insect out of the cage tooo for my little niece who couldn't see it!

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is described as a small but beautiful and well-maintained garden with various themed areas, including a doggie memorial, an oriental garden with water features, a peaceful serenity garden, and a large colorful Buddhist prayer wheel. Visitors appreciate the natural and sculpted elements of the gardens, the calming atmosphere, and the informative signs. Some mention sneaking in early to enjoy the flowers alone or spending hours on benches feeling calm and relaxed. The staff's dedication to maintaining the beauty of the place is also highlighted.
