Fall in Idaho is magical. While the vibrant fall foliage doesn’t last very long in the Gem State, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate all month long in one of the most beautiful destinations in Treasure Valley. Every Saturday throughout October, the Idaho Botanical Garden hosts the family-friendly Fall Harvest Festival. With vendors, food trucks, a Scarecrow Stroll, and gorgeous landscaping, this is one of the best ways to celebrate the fall season.
The Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise is one of the oldest of its kind in Idaho. Here, you will find 15 acres of incredible plants, colors, and landscaping. This area is home to both native and domestic plants in the intermountain region.
