“All money raised from this spectacular event, will go toward new projects that will provide life-long learning and heritage interpretation for our local community. People often forget that this magnificent venue is also a visitor attraction and we open for all to enjoy this historic Liverpool Botanical Collection free of charge most days of the week.”
