McKain-Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden

located at

St Luke's Magic Valley
Regional Medical Center

The McKain-Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden on the St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center’s south campus is a gift to the hospital and the community from the SLMV Health Foundation and generous donors who joined together in 1997 to transform landscape designer Martha Carlson’s drawings into a living, growing garden. This garden is a living symbol of the growing commitment of the SLMV Health Foundation and the medical center to provide the best possible healthcare for the citizens of the Magic Valley region.

The Garden is both contemporary and traditional in nature. Planted with 160 roses that include 25 varieties, the garden has paved walkways, water features, graceful statuary and restful seating areas for patients and visitors to enjoy.

Twin Falls philanthropists Jim Kinney and Barbara McKain stepped forward to underwrite the major construction costs of the garden site, which included excavation, electrical and irrigation requirements. The couple gave this generous gift in memory of their former spouses. Other donors have designated the garden’s statues as a tribute to someone special. There are several areas and many roses and paving bricks that remain available for honoring loved ones or to pay special tribute to an organization.

Visitors to the McKain-Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden will find both their favorite blooms and new varieties to enjoy. The roses in all their varieties, scents and colors represent the diversity of both those individuals providing our daily healthcare needs and those we wish to remember through honor plaques.
