The idea of this botanical garden construction was born from Prof. Ir. Kusnoto Setyodiwiryo, the Director of the Indonesia Institute for Nature Research Center. He wanted to build more botanical garden outside Java Island becoming the center of learning and conservation. Then, Government of Bali agreed to give 50 hectares in Candikuning, Tabanan to be the botanical garden.
