Explore the delights of Ness Botanic Gardens spread across 64 acres with stunning views of the River Dee and North Wales. Ness Botanic Gardens features a diverse variety of plants and planting areas. Constantly changing, there are always new things to see at Ness. From vibrant year-round colour to outstanding collections of Rhododendrons, Camellias, Snowdrops and Sorbus, amongst others. Ness has three National Plant Collections. These are documented groups of plants registered with Plant Heritage. Betula (birch) Most of the approximately 49 known species of birch are in cultivation at Ness. By far the best known are the white-barked species such as the native silver birch Betula pendula and the Himalayan Betula utilis ssp. jacquemontii, of which there are many examples at Ness. Another group is the shaggy-barked species - for example, Betula dahurica. There are Japanese and Korean examples of this attractive small tree. Sorbus (rowan) The rowans, or mountain ash trees, are unmatched by any other group of trees for their autumn leaf colour and late summer and autumn displays of fruits which range from the familiar scarlet of the common rowan, to orange and yellow, with deep crimson often turning to delicate pinks to pure whites in the less commonly grown species. Alnus (alder) The extensive collection of alders includes the wonderfully large-leaved Alnus maximowiczii from Ulleungdo a Korean volcanic island in the Sea of Japan.
