A volunteer-run community garden at Lower Botanic Gardens, founded by residents in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast and the UPSURGE Project.
We are open every Friday and Saturday 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
The garden supports urban food growing, biodiversity, and shared learning, and has developed with support from Belfast City Council. Weekly volunteering by local residents, skills-sharing, and seasonal growing form the core of the project, led by a dedicated and growing group of volunteers who collectively plan, care for, and maintain the space.
Alongside food growing, the garden functions as an open community hub, hosting small-scale workshops, wellbeing activities, and events that support participation and learning. The project continues to grow steadily through the commitment and involvement of its members.
