"Schoolhouse Garden"
From the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens website -
Horticultural Therapy Programs are conducted in this garden, providing gardening opportunities to those whom would not otherwise have them. The raised beds in the Schoolhouse Garden are currently planted with herbs and vegetables suited to our high mountain climate. Over time, the beds will be planted with medicinal and useful plants of mountain cultures worldwide. Our research so far includes plants used by the Ute Indians that once lived in the Vail Valley, the plants once grown by the Incas of South America, the mountain people of India and some of the remote Himalayan valleys in Nepal.
