One of the key reasons we went to the Wave Hill Gardens was to see the Alpine Section of the Gardens. I love an Alpine Garden and this has one of the better ones in New York area. Some pictures:

| They are planting some flowers in an already built wall. So they cannot build a rockery. |
 |
| A rockery or flowers in crevices are very "alpine" and mimic growth on mountains were the crevices collect soil and tend to thaw a bit earlier than other places. |
 |
| The wall, and the "tubs" built from porous rock that mimic the environment of mountains |
 |
| Various North American "Alpine" flowers. |
 |
| These beauties are native to the Cascade mountains in Oregon / Washington |
