Southport Botanic Gardens from the air. Shot on DJI Mini 2 drone in 4K.

The gardens were founded by a local group of working men, known as the Southport and Churchtown Botanic Gardens Company. The company acquired land from the Hesketh Estate (which belonged to Meols Hall) to establish the gardens. The company raised the money to build the museum, a conservatory and tea rooms, and to landscape the gardens.

The Botanic Gardens' lake was formed from part of a stream, known as Otter Pool, that flowed from Blowick through Meols Hall out to the Ribble Estuary. Until recently the flow of this stream had been intentionally blocked for 20–30 years at the point where it passed into the Gardens under Botanic Road, but this conduit was reopened in 2012.

The gardens were officially opened in 1875 by Rev. Charles Hesketh, from whom the land occupied by the gardens has been acquired. The ceremony included the laying of a foundation stone for the museum, which eventually opened in 1876.

The gardens closed in 1932, as plans had been drawn up for housing development, but were saved from being sold by the Southport Corporation. They reopened on 28 August 1937 as "The Botanic Gardens and King George Playing Fields". Today, the park's name has been reverted back to Botanic Gardens.
