An intimate garden venue · Est. 2020A winter wonderland · Santa’s Workshop
Two acres of water gardens, mature trees and old‑world charm on a private Middleton estate — a tranquil escape just minutes from Boise, reserved for one celebration at a time.Each November the gardens put on their winter coat — sleigh lights, snow‑dusted pines and Santa Phil himself, welcoming families to the pond for the season’s magic.
Welcome to the Pond
On Collin’s Pond is an intimate garden venue on an established private estate of thirty‑three years — an experience like no other in the Treasure Valley. Our two‑acre grounds, lined by mature trees, hold beautiful water gardens, a koi pond, an old‑world greenhouse, fire pit, sweet shoppe, cottage gardens and a beautifully finished day‑lodge.
From May through October we specialize in garden weddings for celebrations of thirty or fewer. Our deluxe wedding package pairs an abundance of complimentary amenities with the cottage‑garden feel of the property — the wedding‑day experience our intimate ceremonies are known for.
The pond our son designed at seventeen — still true to his drawing today.
The Grounds
Every structure here was a family project with a story behind it. Stroll the rock paths and you’ll find a different backdrop around every bend.
Built of rough‑cut lumber with elements that look centuries old — Phil’s birthday gift to Donna, and the most photographed doorway in the garden.
Planted by our daughter at age four, now forty feet tall and forty feet wide — shading hidden ceremony spots and home to our resident owl.
A classic vehicle for photo ops comes with every wedding rental — alongside wine barrels, a brass gown hanger and our vintage library sweetheart table.
