Wavertree Botanic Garden and Park is a mid-19th century public park in Liverpool, England. Originally constructed as a private botanic garden, it was taken over by Liverpool Corporation in 1846 and expanded into a public park.
The Wavertree Botanic Garden was first opened in 1836, occupying a 4.5 hectare plot just south of Edge Lane. This spot was chosen as the site for the relocation of the original Liverpool Botanic Garden, which had been established near Mount Pleasant in 1802 by William Roscoe and other local botanists. The move had become necessary as the rapidly expanding city was encroaching on the borders of the Mount Pleasant garden; many of the plants from this garden, including mature trees, were transported by horse and cart to the new site in Wavertree. The design of the new garden was the work of its curator, John Shepherd, who died shortly after its formal opening.
