Betty Ford Alpine GardensBetty Ford Alpine Gardens
At Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, our mission is to protect the alpine environment through education, conservation and living plant collections. We are the only botanical garden in North America dedicated to the preservation and conservation of alpine plant species and their associated habitats. The stunning gardens you can explore along the winding paths protect the mountains you can see in the distance and beyond.
Spring is in bloom at the Alpine Gardens. Explore our indoor Habitat exhibit, view the Alpine Greenhouse, and search the trails for new blooms!
The Gardens are the “front porch” of a serious mission: protecting the fragile species of alpine habitats.
Over 80% of our $1.3 million annual budget must be raised through the vision and generosity of private donors like you. Your support powers research, living plant collections, and the alpine seed bank. We invite you to visit and explore this fragile, beautiful, defiant world.
From the new alpine meadow to the adopt-a-plant collection campaign to the ambassador program, the Gardens continue to evolve and adapt. Read about the progress below.
