alpine garden

noun

First recorded in 1940–45

For the alpine garden it is particularly suitable, and though growing rather slowly thrives well in good light soil.

Its neat dwarf growth, and flowering as it does when hardly a foot high, renders it a choice subject for the Alpine garden.

On the roof were the living quarters—dwelling of many rooms surrounded by an alpine garden.
