The Belfast Botanic Gardens are situated in the South of the City between Queen's University and the River Lagan. Their interesting history began during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when there was a substantial upsurge of interest in botany, horticulture and gardening, and consequently the formation of `Botanic Gardens' became fashionable.

The Friends of Belfast Botanic Gardens group has started a development fund project and is assisting Belfast City Council with lottery funding to provide a number of improvements to the gardens.

The aims of the project are to preserve, restore and enhance the historic character of the Botanic Gardens while increasing the public's enjoyment of the site. These aims will be achieved through capital projects and improved management packages.
