Tufa Rock Garden: High above treeline in alpine climates, barren rock and jagged peaks dominate the landscape. Yet, if given a closer inspection, a vast ecosystem grows in the unforgiving environment.

At Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, people can witness that ecosystem without having to trek through the mountains with this new rock garden. This Garden will be built from tufa rock, a porous limestone rock useful in growing many alpine and lime loving plants. Read more hereProject Cost: $30,000 Raised $11,400

Water Feature Upgrades, Repairs and Monitoring Equipment: The iconic water features throughout Betty Ford Alpine Gardens create the peaceful and tranquil environment that visitors love. And as beautiful as they are, they need your help. The Gardens needs to install monitoring equipment and new liners and upgrade piping to ensure that these iconic waterfalls continue to exist. Years of pressure through the system have degraded the infrastructure and these water features need major work to continue their role as a critical part of the Gardens’ experience. Estimated Project Cost: $50,000

These are a few of the projects coming up at the Gardens. More information is available about any of these projects and others by contacting Development Office at 970-396-7616.

By supporting the Gardens, you become part of a greater movement toward environmental stewardship and sustainability, ensuring that these unique landscapes continue to thrive for generations to come.
