"As an active member of the working group of Alpine and Arctic Botanical Gardens (AABG) I have provided a page at our Homepage(the one about Mt. Patscherkofel) with links to all members and other(not always strictly! botanical) known Alpine Gardens in Europe. At our last meeting we had a talk from a member of the Betty Ford Alpine Garden in Vail. Now I was woundering if that is the only alpine garden in North America and a quick search online did not give me any more information. Therefor I would like to ask if anybody on the list DO know any other alpine gardens and does someone know other gardens around the world (outside Europe)? The 'finale'list should also work as a reference for travellers looking for such gardens." so wrote P. Daniel Schlorhaufer Alpine Garden Mt. Patscherkofel/Zone 3 Botanical Garden - Institute of Botany/Zone 5 University InnsbruckI commend you on your efforts, Daniel, the more information on such matters that can be collected and then disseminated the better.I will add your links pages to the SRGC links to direct people to the information. Coincidentally I posted some similar information the other day , in answer to a question about European Alpine Gardens, on the Discussion pages of the AGS website, but it has been removed.I gave links to pages about several such European Gardens in the SRGC Forum. I can only assume that the some folks at the AGS are little interested in the sharing of such information. Rather sad, I think, and not what most of the Members think, I am sure.
