“While at times ominous, On the Roof of the Rocky Mountains is mostly a celebration, filled with images showcasing the vast beauty of what is billed as the world’s highest botanical garden.”
Seth Boster, The Gazette
“The Betty Ford Alpine gardens are a staggeringly beautiful treasure . . . On the Roof of the Rocky Mountains aims to do a lot . . . [by] educating the reader on what the alpine regions are, the risks they face, and how botanic gardens can be key in efforts to understand and preserve delicate alpine ecosystems.”
Josh Tychonievich, Rock Garden Quarterly
“Sarah’s descriptive writing is accompanied by captivating photography of landscapes that few visit and even fewer inhabit . . . it’s sure to be a hit with garden lovers.”
“This book is a beautiful memory of a unique high alpine garden in Vail, Colorado. It is also an important conduit into the vitally important work of botanic gardens whose work increasingly expands far beyond the garden walls to support, care for, and restore wild places locally, regionally, and globally.”
Sara Oldfield, Former Secretary General of Botanic Gardens Conservation International
“There are just never enough garden books, although our most recent acquisition, On the Roof of the Rocky Mountains, is definitely among the most beautiful. Our robust gardening community will be enthralled with the photos and text that talk about gardens we can relate to up here in the Mountain West.”
Cathy Click, Community Engagement Director, Basalt Regional Library
