BOTANIC GARDENS
Go there and contact
The Belfast Botanic Gardens are a true institution and have existed since 1828. They are the result of a Victorian passion for horticulture and particularly exotic plants, with large beds of green herbs ideal for families and students who regularly come to walk around. On site: large majestic trees, a labyrinth of roses, landscaped areas to stroll while enjoying nature ... Outdoor concerts are also organized. You can also visit the Palm House of 1839, which is the bold work for the time of Charles Lanyon and Richard Turner. It is an imposing greenhouse of cast iron and glass with a magnificent dome of curved glass under which tropical plants live. It has a charming old-fashioned feel to it, and inside the plants radiate in a most pleasingly organized jumble. You can also come and see Tropical Ravine, a smaller greenhouse with a simple design, carefully preserving a collection of old varieties of plants (lilies, orchids, banana trees...) that you can discover from an elevated walkway. The Tropical Ravine was recently completely restored and offers new educational panels on flowers and fruits, ideal for children. A walk in the botanical gardens is a must in Belfast, you will spend a great time among the plants. In the spring, the tulips shine by hundreds, coloring the flowerbeds in the most beautiful way.
