The Ness Botanic Gardens were created by Arthur Kilpin Bulley (1861-1942), a wealthy cotton trader from Liverpool and benefited from collections by many plant hunters including George Forrest and Frank Kingdon-Ward.
In 1948, a few years after his death, Lois Bulley, his daughter, gave the gardens, to the University of Liverpool, under a Conditional Trust.
They are on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and are Grade II.
Magnolias, rhododendron, witch-hazels and camellias are some of the notable plant-hunted species in the garden.
