Betty Ford Alpine GardensBetty Ford Alpine Gardens
In 1986, a small group of visionaries planted a belief — that the fragile alpine world deserved a permanent home in Vail. Forty years later, that belief is still blooming.
This summer is yours to celebrate. Below you’ll find every way to experience the Gardens this season — from signature events to quiet morning walks, cooking demonstrations to family days. There is something here for every kind of love for this place.
And if you’d like to celebrate your memories here with a gift, we would be deeply honored. Every dollar supports the gardens, the programs, and the work that makes this place unlike any other.
We are so glad you’re here.
— Nicola Ripley, President & CEO

Community volunteer day in the Gardens.
Forty years of wildflowers, seed banks, butterfly launches, and mornings at 8,200 feet. None of it happens without people who decided this place was worth protecting.
If this summer has meant something to you — or if you simply want to ensure it continues — please consider making a gift today.
