2025 Scarecrow Stroll
2025-10-04 - 2025-11-02 | Idaho Botanical Garden, 2355 N Old Penitentiary Rd, Boise, Idaho, 83712
Discover Creativity and Community at the Scarecrow Stroll
Get ready for fall fun with one of our most whimsical family traditions: the annual Scarecrow Stroll. Each autumn, scarecrows of all shapes, sizes, and personalities pop up across the paths of the Garden. They are crafted by local artists, students, organizations, and imaginative community members. Stroll through a festive landscape of quirky characters and creative displays, all nestled in the vibrant autumn beauty of the Garden.
Whether you’re visiting for a peaceful walk or joining us on a lively Harvest Days Saturday, the Scarecrow Stroll is a perfect way to celebrate the season.

What to Expect During Your Visit
From the moment you arrive, the Garden becomes a playful celebration of fall. Here’s what you’ll experience during the Scarecrow Stroll:

Scarecrows Around Every Corner
Explore imaginative scarecrow displays placed along meandering garden paths. Each one has its own personality, story, and charm. Some are humorous, others artistic, and some feel straight out of a fairy tale.

Local Creativity on Display
Every scarecrow is handcrafted by someone in our community—artists, schools, families, and local businesses. This makes each visit unique and full of heart.

Autumn in Full Color
October is one of the most beautiful months in the Garden. Colorful leaves, crisp air, and seasonal blooms create a perfect setting for photos and peaceful nature walks.

Family Photo Moments
Strike a pose with your favorite scarecrow. Whether you’re capturing a family outing or snapping selfies with friends, there are plenty of photo-worthy moments throughout the stroll.

Vote for Your Favorites!
After exploring the Scarecrow Stroll, you can vote for your favorite scarecrow! Look for flyers and signs around the Garden with QR codes—just scan and cast your vote directly from your phone. The scarecrow with the most votes will win a Garden Friend–level membership, and the winner will be announced once the Scarecrow Stroll concludes!

Be Part of the Stroll
We invite community members, businesses, classrooms, and artists of all ages to design and build a scarecrow for display. This is your chance to show off your creativity while helping transform the Garden into a joyful harvest wonderland
