Southport Botanic Gardens

Southport Botanic Gardens

Southport Botanic Gardens is located in Southport, Sefton, Merseyside, and was established in 1874. Covering an area of 8 hectares, it is hailed as the “jewel in the crown” and is internationally renowned for its colorful flower shows, frequently featured in the original BBC gardening magazine.

Southport Botanic Gardens was established by a group of local workers and officially opened to the public in 1875. The garden features a dedicated fernery, which is very popular among visitors as it showcases many tropical plants imported from abroad. The wide variety of brightly colored plants cultivated in the gardens often attract swarms of bees and butterflies, which busy themselves daily among the fragrant blooms, enjoying their sweet nectar. The gardens host two flower shows each year—spring and late summer—drawing visitors from around the world. A brass band performance is also held every Sunday afternoon, filling the air with enchanting music that leaves a lasting impression.

Southport Botanic Gardens is perfect for family outings, offering a dedicated play area for children and golfing facilities for adults, ensuring every visitor can find their own space to enjoy the experience.
