Members

Since 1962, when a season ticket giving a year's access to Ness Botanic Gardens, was offered by Director Ken Hulme, the revenue generated through memberships at Ness has helped fund a variety of initiatives.

From the Hulme Deck and Restaurant to our weather station and Pingo Waterfall, this has helped to make the gardens what they are today.

By joining Ness as a member today you can help support us, while enjoying free entry to the Gardens and a host of member benefits, including access to exclusive events and activities.
