| | Thu, 15 May 2008 4:58:18 CST | | | A child asks his mother "Mom, will these plants live in this flower box?" She answers "sure, honey, plants are strong and tough, like us."
The American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA) describes horticultural therapy as a method that uses plants, gardening activities, and the natural world in professional therapy and rehabilitation programs.
Horticultural therapists act as advocates for access for people of all ages and abilities. They are adept at connecting communities with gardens and developing outreach programs, and at providing professional training and on-site therapeutic programs.
The horticultural therapy programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are designed to further a deep connection to nature with a landscape that will stimulate and strengthen mental, motional, and physical balance. The gardens support participants with activities both active and passive in nature.
The summer 2007 programs at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens served many diverse groups, including the Mountain Hospice volunteers, families facing medical adversity, and the Buddies (child/adult mentor) program. Spending time in the garden provides stress relief, one of the many benefits of horticultural therapy. The harvest program with the Buddies also provided participants with educational knowledge in nutrition, with the kids harvesting, washing, and preparing salads from the garden that they had planted earlier in the spring.

Mountain Magic
The land we stand on feels stable under our feet, but our world is in motion. Explore mountain building with sedimentation & volcanoes, and valley formation with glaciers, water & wind. Observe the forces that are still at work and see evidence of the forces that made their changes many years ago.
Rainbows & Sunshine
Learn about the water cycle and the importance of all the different weather we experience in the high country of Colorado. Children will learn about sunshine, storms & rainbows. We will also discuss the different ecosystems and climate zones found in the local area.
Stinky, Slimy, Sneezes
Children will embark on a gross adventure to learn about the slimy, mushy, and stinky things that inhabit their bodies. Learn about the icky germs you can't see and the ones that make you sick. A visit to the Vail Valley Medical Center Microbiology Lab is sure to have you questioning your innards.
Pollination Station
Flowers, pollination, seeds and fruit...Plants meet, mate and provide new homes for their offspring in amazing ways. Get up close with local wildflowers and have fun watching pollinators at work. Meet some bees and see them at work with a visit from a Bee Keeper and his pollinators.
Interesting Insects
As the largest group of animals in the world, insects play an important role in our ecosystem. Search for insects and explore how they are adapted to the life they lead. Even in this tiny world, there are predators & prey, farmers & gatherers…and, well, some are just bugs. The Butterfly Pavilion will bring interesting and exotic insects that are sure to have you asking, "What is that?"
Keepers of the Earth
Walk through the history of the Rocky Mountains by examining the wilderness ethic of Native Americans, miners, trappers, and settlers who lived in the Vail area. Children will learn the importance of sustainable living, reduce, reuse and recycle. We will have Ute and Oglala Sioux Native Americans make a guest appearance to teach the children about their history, animal sign language and share some personal stories about growing up as Native Americans.
Wet & Wild
Jump in and explore the mountain streams of Colorado and learn about the importance of conserving and protecting our water resources. Be prepared to get your feet wet as you explore the shallow streambeds and the riparian habitat of Gore Creek searching for aquatic plants, amphibians and insects. The Leadville Fish Hatchery will join us for a wet and wild presentation that will teach children the importance of aquatic life and how to preserve our local rivers.
Feathered Friends
The Nature Center has a wonderful location for viewing our local bird life: Hummingbirds, Hawks and everything in between. The Raptor Education Foundation will allow children to get a closer look at the beauty and power of Eagles, Owls, Hawks and Falcons – all Birds of Prey flying throughout Colorado and North America.
Rocky Mountain Mammals
Learn more about our own Rocky Mountain mammals. We will study bighorn sheep, mountain lions, bears, beavers, deer & elk. Learn these animals' relationships to each other and the ecological systems they inhabit. The USFS will teach us what it takes for these animals to survive the Rocky Mountain habitat and help us understand how to take care of our local wildlife.
Survival Skills
Learn the importance of low-impact camping, leaving no trace and other simple skills. You may even learn a few edible and medicinal plants found in the local forests! Mountain rescue will visit to teach global positioning system and map & compass skills. They will discuss the correct gear needed for safe travel in the backcountry and there will be a special guest appearance from a local mountain rescue dog.
Food Factory
Green things come in every size and shape – take a close look at the variety in the Vail Valley. Discover how plants produce the food and oxygen everything else on earth consumes!

The Town of Eagle, a project of the Vail Valley Foundation, presents this down-home family night out , complete with fantastic free music, kids activities, picnics and more. The series runs Thursday evenings throughout the summer at the Eagle Town Park in downtown Eagle.
The 2007 series proved to be a hit among locals and visitors alike, as the park came alive each Thursday evening with great music, a sea of picnic blankets and all sorts of activities for the kids. Performance highlights included the Motown sound of Fredi & the Soulshakers, the country stylings of the Walker Williams Band and the infectious disco beat of Boogie Machine.
With a brand new stage, updated playground and new restroom facilities, the Eagle Town Park is the perfect location for this series. Plan ahead for 2008 and make sure you take advantage of the best picnicking opportunity of the summer: Thursdays at ShowDown Town.
