Ness Botanic Gardens
Ness Botanic Gardens are situated near the English and Welsh border in The Wirral, near the city of Chester. They occupy a site of 64 ac overlooking the Dee estuary. The Gardens have evolved since Arthur Kilpin Bulley (1861-1942), a wealthy cotton trader from Liverpool, who funded many garden hunters including George Forrest and Frank Kingdon-Ward.[1][2]
Arthur began to create the garden in 1898. In 1948, his daughter, Lois, gave the Gardens upon a conditional Trust to the University of Liverpool. As a condition of the Trust, the Gardens must remain open to the public. They are on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and are graded II.[3] The Gardens have many specimen trees and flowers; snowdrop walks are conducted during the flowering season.
