Southport Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Churchtown, England
The Southport Botanic Gardens spans across landscaped grounds with flower beds, a lake formed from Otter Pool, and walking paths through varied plant collections.
Founded in 1874 by the Southport and Churchtown Botanic Gardens Company, the gardens were established through an £18,000 investment from the Hesketh Estate.
The gardens feature seasonal horticultural displays, weekly volunteer maintenance activities, and participate annually in the Britain In Bloom competition.
The gardens provide free entry seven days a week, with facilities including an aviary, play area, café, mini golf course, and parking access from Verulam Road.
The site maintains its original Victorian fernery structure, while the former museum building stands as a reminder of advisor Phineas T. Barnum's involvement.
