Betty Ford Alpine Gardens

The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are one of the world's highest botanical gardens, located at 522 S Frontage Road E, Vail, Colorado, United States, at an 8,200 feet altitude in the Rocky Mountains. The Gardens mission is "to protect the alpine environment through education, conservation and living plant collections". They offer programming such as rotating exhibits, garden tours, workshops, expert speakers, plant sale, yoga and more.

The Gardens were founded by Vail and Denver horticulturists in 1985, with subsequent planting of the Alpine Display Garden, Mountain Perennial Garden, Mountain Meditation Garden, and the Alpine Rock Garden with its stunning 120-foot waterfall. Other gardens include the Silk Road Garden and Children's Garden.
