Garden reborn at Ness

Kerem Shalom, Israel – January 10, 2024: A truck carrying large, canvas-covered humanitarian aid packages at the Israel-Gaza Kerem Shalom border crossing.

An international show garden has been created at Ness Botanic Gardens by garden designer and TV presenter Chris Beardshaw.

The RHS Gold Award-winning garden, entitled Ness Botanische, was inspired by decades of scientific and academic research by the University at Ness Botanic Gardens.

The design represents a slice through a plant stem and leads the viewer on a journey from traditional ornamental British woodland-style planting to a Germanic-inspired prairie-style garden. At its centre sits the Primula bulleyana, a plant that carries the name of Ness founder, Arthur Kilpin Bulley.

The garden is now open to the public. For details of admission prices and opening times visit: http://www.liv.ac.uk/nessgardens/index.htm
