The Bibler Gardens is a private display garden in Kalispell, Montana designed by Louis A. "Sam" Bibler. Sam landscaped, planted and maintained the gardens at his home from around 1980 until his death in 2002. The extensive gardens, including ponds, waterfalls, sculptures, arboretum, and a log stable with a menagerie of miniature animals, are maintained today according to Sam's desire to preserve the site as a place of lasting beauty that could be enjoyed by the Kalispell community and visitors to the area. The Bibler home and its collection of 18th and 19th century furnishings, art, Inuit tribal art, and Persian rugs, have also been preserved. A tour of the home is included as part of the Summer Evening Tours.
