The temperature is dropping, frost is forming, and everyone is
getting out their Christmas decorations. The merriest season of all has begun, and one of Boise’s most loved attractions during the holiday season is now open. Hosted at the Idaho Botanical Garden, Winter Garden Aglow is now in full session and fully lit!
Winter Garden Aglow is a recurring event where you can take a scenic walk through the garden and admire the beauty of the shimmering lights. Winter Garden Aglow is a fully immersive experience, with free hot cocoa and cookies as well as decorations to make you feel like you are up North. Not to mention, it is a perfect place to get some Instagram-worthy pictures.
I had the privilege of visiting the garden last weekend, and all I could say was “WOW!”. My favorite part was walking through some of the themes from the motion picture “Elf”. My friends and
The “Swirly Twirly Gumdrops” illuminate different colors as people pass by.
I wandered through the candy cane forest, and into the sea of swirly twirly gumdrops. Feelings of nostalgia and joyfulness floated in the air and were with me on my journey through the garden.
While there is an entry fee, the experience is worth every penny as you experience a feeling like no other. As a bonus, select dates this winter will have local carolers performing from schools around the district. If you are looking for a fun, affordable, and magical activity this winter, Winter Garden Aglow is for you.
