Development of the Sukorambi Botanical Garden began in 2006.
Initially the Regent of Jember, Abdul Kahar Muzakir, intended to use it for his family's personal recreation.
However, after receiving input from friends and acquaintances, he ultimately decided to make the garden open to the public.
The garden was formally established on 24 February 2007.

The garden had an average of 50 visitors daily in 2011, with numbers increasing to 200 on the weekends.
By December 2012 that average had increased to 300 visitors daily, with 1,000 visitors per day visiting during the Christmas holidays.
During that holiday the garden was one of Jember's most popular tourist attractions, together with Papuma Beach and Rembangan.
