I'm not well qualified to answer this so maybe someone better qualified will come along. Until they do . . .
There are specific degrees in botany. Some schools offer a Bachelor degrees in botany, but some start at the Masters degree level and there are PhD programs in botany. A Bachelor's in Biology would prepare you to go on to a Masters in botany.
The hiarchy is:
Science
. . .Biology
. . . . .Botany
And, there are specialties under botany.
A botanist is a scientist that studies plants and their development. To have a job with the designation of botanist you will most certainly have to complete a college/university undergraduate degree (eg: 4 year bachelor of science) and a masters degree (eg: 2 year MSc program). Both degrees should be with a major in biology, botany, or another related field. It is likely that with only an undergraduate and masters you would only be able to get a job working for a botanist though, and to have your own lab and be a true botanist you will need to further complete a doctorate degree in biology (3-5 year PhD) with a focus in botany.
I believe that there might be some jobs you could get with only an undergraduate and masters degree with which you could still get away with calling yourself a botanist, perhaps a job with a botanical gardens, or zoo or another similar institution where you were in charge of their gardens?
High school biology, chemistry, physics
You should also intern at necessary places like a plant nursery or botanical gardens

From what I read online to study botany takes as much schooling and time as it takes to study study stuff like medicine and law. Good luck!
Take as many science and biology classes as they have available.
History would be necessary later in your career.
Math classes always help.
Talk to your adviser about your career and she will put you into every class you should take.
