Boise is tucked between the northern edge of a sagebrush desert and the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The laid-back outdoorsy lifestyle is what attracts and keeps residents here.
With only 12 inches of rain per year and hot, dry summers, gardening in Boise can be a challenge. Longtime residents have managed to cultivate lush gardens, despite that. In fact, Boise is sometimes referred to as The City of Trees and boasts nine acres of park for every 1,000 residents.
