Ness Botanic Gardens is a garden situated near the English and Welsh Border in Merseyside. The garden is near to both the city of Chester and Ellesmere Port. The gardens have evolved since Arthur Kilpin Bulley (1861–1942) began to create a garden in 1898. In 1948 his daughter Lois gave the Gardens to the University of Liverpool; parts of the garden are open to the public. The gardens are on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and are graded II. The Gardens have many specimen trees and flowers; they hold snowdrop walks during the flowering season.

“Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
—Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
