Idaho Botanical Garden, Boise, Idaho
Join us for free pizza and pops as we say goodbye to a scorcher of a summer and hello to Idaho Botanical Garden's Lewis & Clark Native Plant Garden [2355 E. Old Penitentiary Road, Boise]. In the IBG's oh-so-comfortable evening shade, we'll hear Rod Burke, head of horticulture, describe the progress that s been made toward an expected May 1 completion date for Phase 1. Then we'll follow Rod along a new 1,300-foot concrete pathway to see fresh plantings of lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine and alpine fir and visualize the garden's unfolding. (Go through the gate and up the hill.)
