Belfast BOTANIC GARDENS
I'm down at Belfast Botanic or Botanical gardens found on a 28 acre site running through from the base of the Stranmillis road to almost over to the river Lagan.
These gardens have been in existence since 1828 but were only formally opened to the public when they came under city ownership in 1895. Prior to that they were owned privately.
These Victorian gardens include a Tropical Ravine, the Palm House, a fine rose garden and two extensive herbaceous borders which are argubly the longest anywhere in the UK.
The Palm house is important because it is a very early example of a cast iron glasshouse that predates anything similar in Ireland and even Kew gardens in England. Charles Lanyon was once again the architect here as indeed he was with many significant buildings in and around Belfast. The gardens a wildlife haven represent a feast of colour in spring and summer and a tranquail spot for people seeking to speed their lunchtime or simply get away from the fast pace of the city for an hour or two.
Botanic Gardens Belfast
Belfast Botanic Gardens is a public park in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Occupying 28 acres (110,000 m2) of south Belfast, the gardens are popular with office workers, students and tourists. They are located on Stranmillis Road in Belfast's university area, with Queen's University nearby. The Ulster Museum is located at the main entrance. The gardens opened in 1828 as the private Royal Belfast Botanical Gardens. It continued as a private park for many years, only opening to members of the public on Sundays prior to 1895. Then it became a public park in 1895 when the Belfast Corporation bought the gardens from the Belfast Botanical and Horticultural Society. The Belfast Corporation was the predecessor of Belfast City Council, the present owner.

March for a Future
Commemorating Outdoor Relief Strike
Rally @ Custom House Square, March the Shankill & Falls
In the thirties, there was mass unemployment in Belfast in the midst of a capitalist economic crisis. In order to survive, the unemployed either had to degrade themselves by begging 'Guardians' - representatives of the rich - for poverty benefits (outdoor relief) or face the nightmare of the workhouse. Young men were forced into back breaking work just to get a few pennies for themselves and their families.
The parallels with today are striking. One in five young people here are unemployed because of bosses and politicians slashing jobs. The benefits available are barely enough to live on. Now, schemes like Steps to Work and Workfare are turning unemployed young people in cheap or even free labour for big business, undermining real jobs. Combined with cuts to education and attacks on workers' rights, our generation is being robbed of a future.
In October 1932, thousands of outdoor relief workers in Belfast went on strike to fight for their dignity and benefits they could live on. With the support of the whole working-class, they organised mass and rallies. The struggle united Catholic and Protestant workers in the face of violence from bigots and the state. After two weeks of struggle, they won significant concessions.
Youth Fight for Jobs has called this march from Custom House Square - where the rally that announced the strike was held - through the Shankill and Falls - the heartlands of the struggle - and ending with a rally at City Hall. We want to commemorate the heroic struggle of 1932 and to send a message to the politicians and bosses that we will fight back too!

Exploring the National Trust Greenhouse Collection
In 2004 Alitex were first asked to design a collection of greenhouses, representative of the heritage found within the beautiful places under the care of the National Trust.
The collection has since evolved and Alitex are now very proud to have eight greenhouses in the National Trust Collection, each catering to an array of horticultural needs. This video features Tom Hall, Owner of Alitex Greenhouses and Conservatories, sharing insight into our relationship with the National Trust. The video explores how the collection of greenhouses have been designed, the manufacturing process and how Alitex continue to strive to honour the integrity of the National Trust.
