alpine garden
High-altitude flower bed
An alpine garden is a cultivated area designed to grow plants native to mountainous regions above the tree line.
These gardens typically feature rocky terrain, well-drained soil, and compact plants adapted to harsh conditions: The alpine garden showcased tiny saxifrages and gentians among carefully placed stones.
Also called a rock garden, though rock gardens may include non-alpine species.
