Southport Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Churchtown, England
Southport Botanic Gardens is a botanical garden with expansive landscaped grounds, flower beds, and water features located south of England. Walking paths wind through different plant zones and past a lake that was formed from a historic water body.
The site was founded in 1874 as a dedicated botanical garden through a significant financial commitment. Over decades, it grew into a beloved green space for the wider Southport area.
The gardens display seasonal flower arrangements that change throughout the year and draw regular visitors. Maintenance teams work continuously to keep the beds flourishing and experiment with new plant combinations.
The grounds are freely accessible daily and offer visitors various facilities like an aviary, play area, and café. Parking is available via Verulam Road, making a visit by car straightforward.
A Victorian fernery from the founding era remains visible on the grounds and shows the original garden design. This historic structure reflects the botanical passion of the early collectors.
