2 Mission Statement of the Idaho Botanical Garden The Idaho Botanical Garden provides a full garden experience for all ages that enhances our community s quality of life through plant collections, our education programs, entertainment, cultural, and community events. The Idaho Botanical Garden, a private non-profit 501(c)(3) organization was established in 1984 by a group of dedicated community volunteers. It s a living museum with a rich historic past, which was once the site of the Idaho State Penitentiary tree nursery and grounds. Today, the Idaho Botanical Garden has blossomed into 14 specialty gardens, each with a unique focus. Included are a contemporary English Garden, a Meditation Garden, a Children's Adventure Garden, and an Heirloom Rose Garden. The Garden is over 33 acres, of which 15 acres are cultivated and dedicated to providing an interactive and educational experience for Garden guests. Last year the Garden received over 134,000 visitors, and was supported by over 5,000 Garden members. The Garden is completely dependent on tax-deductible contributions from our community-minded citizens, corporations, foundations and site rental. The Garden receives no state or federal funding. Our 2016 operating budget is $1,469,295. Additional information about the Garden and its programs can be found in EXHIBIT A. Core Values of the Idaho Botanical Garden Community we value the sense of connection and belonging that develops between people of all ages as they share a common interest, event, activity or cause. The Garden develops this sense of community by respecting and welcoming everyone, providing experiences for people to share with others, inviting the public to be a part of the Garden and its mission, and by interacting with people outside of our physical location. Sense of Place we believe that when people understand the climatic, geographic, and ecological conditions of the Intermountain West, they will have a greater appreciation of their location, and will be more likely to cultivate landscapes that will thrive in a sustainable manner. We educate people about these topics through a variety of education opportunities and experiences. Providing a Gateway- we feel that people live more satisfying lives when engaged in a wide range of experiences. The Garden introduces people to a variety of high quality, stimulating, interactive experiences and educational opportunities that lead to lifelong enrichment Outlaw Field RFP Page 2

6 EXHIBIT A Horticulture Program The Garden s horticulture program shows by example how Treasure Valley residents can garden within the constraints of the local soils and climate. The Water Conservation Landscape, Western Waterwise Garden and Lewis and Clark Native Plant Garden demonstrate the beauty of drought-tolerant plantings and the possibilities of water-efficient irrigation systems. Demonstration displays show gardeners plants ideal for local growing conditions. Connected to the Garden s grounds, and available to Garden visitors at no additional cost, is the Bureau of Land Management and the College of Western Idaho s Firewise Garden. This display illustrates best practices and plant choices for home landscapes to minimize fire danger for homes in high fire risk locations. The Garden also supports native plant conservation efforts by working with the BLM and US Forest Service to collect and grow native plants and seeds for conservation and ecological rehabilitation projects and seed banking. The College of Western Idaho offers a two year horticulture degree through the Garden and the horticulture campus is located directly adjacent to the Idaho Botanical Garden. This direct proximity allows extensive sharing of knowledge, facilities, and resources between the Garden and the student program, creating a hub for horticulture at the site, and enhancing both programs efforts and capabilities. Education Programs The Idaho Botanical Garden offers education programs for both adults and children. The Garden s Adult Education Program includes guided tours of the Garden, classes, workshops, and access to horticultural professionals. Many of the classes and workshops focus on ornamental horticulture education, involving information about roses, perennial gardens, Bonsai, container gardening, backyard ponds, turf care, trees, landscaping with native plants and more. Additional education resources include a small library and brochures describing what flowers are in bloom each month and an overview of Garden trees. The Garden s Youth Education Program serves over 15,000 children each year. One of the Garden s goals is to nurture a child's fascination with the natural world through a variety of educational presentations including school field trips, spring and winter programs for preschool-age children, and summer botany camps. The Garden s Botany Camp features gardening and horticultural themes for children to experience through games, crafts and nature walks Outlaw Field RFP Page 6

7 Arts, Culture and Entertainment Culture and the arts are interwoven into many of the Idaho Botanical Garden s events. These events provide the community with additional year-round opportunities to enjoy the Idaho Botanical Garden with friends and family and help support Garden operations and education. The Garden also provides a beautiful backdrop for private events that bring the community together, including weddings, receptions, and memorial services. The Plant Sale helps kick off the growing season each year. This popular event encourages the public to practice the horticultural arts. For additional landscaping inspiration, the community is invited to visit the Garden for no charge during May s National Public Garden Day, and is welcomed into the yards of Treasure Valley homes during the Garden Tour. Each summer, the Garden presents the Great Garden Escape Concert Series. People of all ages enjoy dancing to local jazz, country, blues, big and bluegrass bands, or relaxing on the cool grass in the Meditation Garden. The Garden s Outlaw Field Concert Series brings nationally known performing artists to Boise. Bug Day is a family, entomological extravaganza that takes place each August. October s Scarecrow Stroll encourages families and businesses to exercise their creativity and create a scarecrow to be displayed at the Garden. Fall Harvest Festival, enjoyed by 6,000 people the first weekend in October, celebrates Idaho s agricultural heritage. The Garden closes each year with Winter Garden aglow, a winter celebration with over 308,000 artistically displayed lights, enjoyed by more than 58,000 visitors. Volunteer Program Volunteers play a critical role in helping the Garden grow. A dedicated group of volunteers work closely with our small staff to present a wide range of activities to the community. Volunteers offer their skills and knowledge to assist in a variety of ways; and there are many exciting opportunities to explore new interests and meet new people. Annually people participate in this opportunity to keep the Garden operating by donating over 19,000 hours of time Outlaw Field RFP Page 7
