Handforth Gardening Society will be visiting Ness Botanic Garden & Gordale Garden Centre, on Saturday May 19th 2012.
Ness Botanic Garden is situated on the Wirral Peninsula, overlooking the Dee.
Ness Botanic Gardens were created originally in 1898 by Arthur Bulley, and presented to the University of Liverpool by his daughter in 1948, six years after he died.
We will see Rhododendrons and azaleas, camellias, magnolias, cherries and many other flowering trees and shrubs. There are also a laburnum arch, a large rock garden and spring bulbs and primulas to be viewed.
After visiting the garden we plan to call at Gordale Garden Centre
The coach will leave Handforth Paddock Shopping Centre at 9.00am. We will depart Gordale at 3.00pm.
Cost: £20. This includes entry fee and guided tour of Ness. (£10 deposit please).
Friends of Society members are very welcome to join us.
