This was more impressive than expected. It appeared to have very little fanfare so we weren't sure about it. There was limited parking inside the gates so we ended up parking along the street and apprehensively entered. There is no fee to enter and, as we began walking around, we quickly understood what we were experiencing. This place was an incredible little slice of heaven hidden in plain sight. There were so many plants everywhere. Pathway after pathway had new varieties of desert plants and flowers to take in. It was much much larger than expected and lovingly planned out. Like Cleo's Ferry Museum, you could tell that this place was a labor of love. The time and energy put into this garden, privately, and without any government subsidizing or control, was incredible. In some ways it exceeded the Boise botanical garden. You should definitely take in this wonderful garden if you're in Twin Falls, on a weekend in the Summer. Be sure you check to make sure it will be open. They keep very minimal hours. If you like it, as we did, they do take donations in two boxes near the entrance/exit.

I just heard about this and the lights were amazing. It was very cold but so worth the visit. I did notice several couples pass by the donation box without making a donation. This is how they keep this going. If you are in Twin Falls or passing through, you definitely need to stop and walk through the garden.

Beautiful place. I think kids would love walking thru here and seeing all the beautiful light. Don't forget to donate and keep this place open.

We visited Orton’s Botanical Garden a couple of weeks ago and the cactus were in bloom. They were beautiful! If you haven’t stopped by , you should. There’s so many different varieties of plants. Go visit!

Our yearly Christmas adventure. Fun for the kids to run around and enjoy the beautiful lights. It’s free to walk through, but donations are welcome. If you’re on a budget and wanna have fun with the whole family, come check out this place. I’ve only been during the winter, but want to come check it out during the summer.

I’m soo happy to volunteer in the plants sale and open day, l got a year membership (that makes you able to enter many other botanical gardens🤩) bought 3 plants and l had a tour in the garden while the flowers and cactuses are blooming😍 l’m also glad to meet everyone that takes care of the garden and share with them my ideas to improve, very nice experience. I highly recommend

Wonderful. And Lamar is a knowledgeable and gracious host.

Took the family out to see the lights for the first time and had a great time. The display was amazing. So many beautiful lights and decorations.

The family and I went to a butterfly release event. It was a great event that was sponsored by hospice to celebrate our loved ones that have past. The garden was beautiful as well as the butterfly's. It is a must see place to visit and relax . Donations for the beautiful garden is excepted

Awesome desert garden with a large variety of cacti and yucca species. Staff is knowledgeable about cultivating these species in Southern Idaho. Great place to visit for any plant nerd.
