Further details about plans for a research and community garden at the Queen’s PEC Playing Field at Lower Botanic Gardens have been revealed.
At this week’s meeting of Belfast City Council ’s Climate and City Resilience Committee, elected members approved the first stage in the development of a “scientific and environmental demonstrator” site in Lower Botanic Gardens.
It follows the successful award of funding from the Horizon 2020 EU ‘Upsurge’ project. The project focuses on testing nature-based solutions in five demonstrator cities across Europe, with the aim of sharing learning and good practice on pollution alleviation, citizen health and climate resilience.
