Alderman Fletcher Moss bought the gardens and house (The Croft) in 1912. He gave Fletcher Moss Gardens to the people of Manchester in 1919. The Botanical Gardens still have many original features. Such as the rock gardens and heather gardens.

The Croft was the birthplace of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Previous occupant of The Croft, Emily Williamson, held the society's first meeting there.

In 1889, Emily formed the Society for the Protection of Birds. Her primary motive was to stop the use of feathers in fashion. Demand for feathers and exotic plumes was driving some bird species towards extinction. Find out more about Emily Williamson on the RSPB website.
