Ness Botanic Gardens

This year we are celebrating a double birthday - 125 years since the gardens were founded by plantsman Arthur Kilpin Bulley, and 75 years as a university botanic garden.

Christmas craft sessions at Ness Botanic Gardens. Please book one slot per family, up to 3 children. Activities suitable for children aged 3-12 years. Craft session is free with garden admission, pre-booking required. 

Do you love flowers but wish you could display them better?

Improve your understanding of plants, and their use in design. You will learn how to create aesthetically pleasing and sustainable planting schemes and designs.

Perfect your technique and elevate your levels of fitness.  

Nordic Walking is much more than walking with poles! Join us for a social way to burn calories, tone the upper and lower body, improve fitness, while going easy on your joints.

Ideal for anyone who has completed our beginners course and wishes to improve their technique.

These sessions are aimed at anyone who has done Nordic Walking before and who would like to continue to perfect their technique or take their fitness to the next level.

For payment of fees by registered Ness RHS students only. If you are interested in joining the RHS Level 2 Principles and Practices of Horticulture  please visit our website for further details.

Add a little magic to the festive season with a visit to see Father Christmas as he pops into Ness for two weekends this year.
