This fragment of the Singing Hedge is flourishing 2 1/2 years since Department for Infrastructure destroyed the original. It's going to take decades before it can again provide the food & shelter needed by the red-listed sparrows. Would have been better to have kept the hedge. Belfast City Council

Friends of Belfast Botanic Gardens will be having a sale at 9.30am beside the Tropical Ravine on Sunday 4th August, during the BBC's 'Antiques Roadshow' within the gardens. We will be selling plants, and hand-crafted ceramics made using ferns from the gardens and Queen's Quarter.

What's a butterfly bush without butterflies? This empty buddleia has been the sad reality for many of us across the UK this summer 🧵👇

Please note: Botanic Gardens will be open to the public on Sunday 4th August. We are holding a Plant and Ceramic Sale. You are all very welcome. Please RT. Many thanks.

Plant stalls and tent, and stall for ceramics are all setup, dressed and waiting to be stocked first thing early tomorrow morning. Also, a view of the great lawn for the main event - BBC Antiques Roadshow.

The delight that is the Global Medicinal Garden, Belfast Botanic Gardens, Purple Sage, Bergamot(?), Echinacea purpurea (immune-system stimulant). Really informative labelling of plants Belfast City Council

Environmental concerns are rising over single-use vapes, with over 5 million either littered or tossed in general waste every week—a staggering fourfold increase in just one year. DAERA has introduced a draft statutory rule to address the problem. #SingleUseVapes

Sandhurst Entry lives! Thanks to a micro-grant from 9ftinCommon and Social Farms & Gardens NI we’ve made a start on turning our entry from dump to garden with a lovely planter and a welcoming sign at each end. Compost supplied by Belfast City Council and several plants came from @ideaspace 🙏

Pic 1 is what we started with in our Belfast alley- endless landlord dumping. But as a group of neighbours we had a different vision for this space. Months of voluntary cleaning & a small grant mean we are on our way to a better shared space: introducing Sandhurst Entry

Amazing to see the historic setts of the Ormeau Road being unearthed during current roadworks
