Botanic Gardens, Ness, Neston CH64 4AY. Tel: 0151 353 0123. The
Gardens were born of one man's passionate interest in plants,
Arthur Kilpin Bulley began to create a garden in 1898 and laid
the foundations of one of the major botanic gardens in the United
Kingdom. Arthur Bulley died in 1942, and in 1948 his daughter
Lois presented the Gardens to the University of Liverpool with
an endowment of £75,000. The only stipulation was that
they be kept as a botanic gardens as a practical and fitting
tribute to the memory of her father. www.nessgardens.org.uk.
