Rooted in Idaho’s high mountain desert, Ribier Gardens is a flower farm built on devotion — to the soil, the seasons, and the art of growing exceptional dahlias.

What began in 2016 as a small family farm growing fruits and vegetables for the Boise Farmers Market and the Boise Co-op has since blossomed into one of the Northwest’s most trusted names in cut flowers and dahlia tubers.

That first year, on the advice of a wedding florist, we planted 5,000 tulips and 600 peonies — not knowing where or if they would sell. Among them were a few dahlia tubers, gifted by a friend. The moment those first dahlias bloomed, we were hooked. Their color, form, and resilience became the heartbeat of the farm.

By 2017, our tulips had found eager homes at local markets and in the hands of floral designers, inspiring us to grow further. That same year, we attended an on-farm workshop at Floret and returned home with new knowledge, inspiration, and a deeper commitment to the craft.

In 2018, the farm celebrated its first peony harvest and welcomed its first baby — marking a season of profound growth, both in the field and in life. We also began selling our first dahlia tubers, sharing the varieties we loved most with gardeners across the region.

Through each passing season, the dahlia patch expanded. Our second child was born in 2020, and the rhythm of family life wove naturally into the cycles of the farm.

Breeding for the Future

In 2023, Ribier Gardens entered a new chapter — hybridizing dahlias specifically bred to thrive in the unique conditions of our high mountain desert. Unlike dahlias developed in cloudy or coastal climates, our breeding program focuses on strength, heat tolerance, and lasting performance in full sun.

Each cross begins as an act of curiosity and devotion — seeking to bring forward varieties that are not only beautiful, but resilient. Every seedling is evaluated for form, color, and vigor, and only a small handful are selected to continue the lineage.

Our goal is simple: to cultivate dahlias that reflect both the artistry of nature and the demands of our changing climate.

With the rebrand of Ribier Gardens in 2025 and our first exclusive hybrids set to debut in Fall 2027, this journey continues — rooted in years of experimentation, observation, and love for the land.

The Ribier Difference

Every flower we grow and every tuber we ship carries the same care that started this journey. We believe in building trust through quality, transparency, and stewardship of the soil — so that each dahlia you grow carries a story that began right here, in the Idaho sun.
