The paths needed another 40 tonnes of gravel. More than 1,500 different species of alpine have been planted. These have been donated by the RHS Garden at Wisley, the University of Liverpool Botanic Gardens at Ness, RBG Edinburgh and many members. An educational garden, the design focused on two key areas - the provision of conditions enabling many alpines to be grown successfully and the convenience of visitors. All paths are firm and comfortably wide without dead ends or steps, and they enable visitors to get close to the plants.
Main paths are suitable for wheelchairs.
