A few construction photos from the Alpine Garden's newest attraction.

We are all very excited about the new Inter-Mountain Habitat that will be featured in the E. H. Lohbrunner Alpine Garden this summer. With the help of Garden donors, we've been able to take an old, unused greenhouse and turn it into a new plant habitat. Construction is well underway with most of the rock work nearly completed. A few more stones, more soil, an efficient low-volume irrigation system, some very special plants and it will be complete.
