Annual commemorative event

Join us for a heart-warming event, as we celebrate the lives of those who have been remembered in our gardens or kindly remembered the gardens in their Will.

On Tuesday 25 March 2025, from 4pm to 6:30pm, we're saying thank you and showing our gratitude to those who've remembered the gardens or whose ashes have been scattered here.

Invited to join us for this special commemoration are:

• Families of those whose ashes have been scattered in our wildflower meadow
• Families of those who left gifts to Ness in their memory, or who generously remembered Ness in their Will.

After a warm welcome, you can enjoy refreshments while listening to the opening addresses before being invited to take a guided heritage tour of the gardens. There'll be the opportunity to savour delicious food and refreshments from the Botanic Kitchen café and view our commemorative books in the Visitor Centre.
