Ah Toy Garden is a garden located within Payette National Forest. The garden was established by the Chinese American community in order to grow fruits and vegetables to maintain a traditional Chinese diet while Chinese immigrant laborers worked in the mines. There are three other Chinese-American gardens in the Warren Mining District.[1][2]

The garden was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 1990.[3]
