---

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden in Ketchum, Idaho, is a 5-acre high-altitude garden founded in 1994 to showcase native and cultivated plants suited to the region's diverse biomes. It features five major garden areas representing Idaho's Sagebrush Steppe, Lava, Alpine, Montane, and Riparian biomes, along with spaces like the Garden of Infinite Compassion, created in 2005 for the Dalai Lama's visit.

This garden includes elements such as a 400-pound Tibetan prayer wheel, water features, educational beds, and a greenhouse with a citrus grove and demonstration gardens. Serving as both a community resource and a peaceful natural retreat, it offers programs, classes, a children's play area, and space for events while promoting environmental stewardship and appreciation of the local landscape.
