A lot of rubbish ...full massive bag. @belfastcc.bsky.social Time for a bin here. Way beyond time.

The Three Sisters Gardening Community have been recognised in the long list for the Ireland's Greenest Community Award as part of the 2025 Irish Times Ireland's Greenest Places and is the only project from Northern Ireland to make the list. www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...

Garden absolutely TEEMING with butterflies and bees today. Just counted five peacock butterflies and a couple of these tortoiseshells. Cabbage whites everywhere as usual. Ladybirds, also.

www.rspb.org.uk/northern-ire... Some positive news…

Redesign started. #alleywaygarden

A message to all other Belfast City Councillors: Hopefully BCC acquires the Assembly Rooms in next few months, but don't pat yourselves on the back, thinking job done. This is only the end of the beginning. We still have more to do in delivering a city centre people will be proud of.

Rewilding isn't only about saving nature, but re-filling the world with beauty and loveliness. We just need to allow it happen.

About time. www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/plastic...

Greenery in alleys just makes sense. We share it with bins, left over recyclable items and a manner of other things left behind. We can make these blend into the background woth plants, shrubs and trees.

Blackbird Ma feeding its baby. First time I've seen them in the alleyway garden.

Someone has joined me in Camden Alleyway. Food alley if I have my way.

Lovely rain in Belfast today - fab after all that sun and heat at the weekend.

Just a reminder. @belfastcc.bsky.social Each area differs slightly but mostly the same.

Lot of clearing up today. 3 bags and 40 needles. All rubbish picked up and reported needles.

It’s almost the start of my favorite time of the year, the Big Butterfly Count starting from 1st July. I love taking 15 minutes wherever I am to just go outside and look for butterflies. Last year was pretty disappointing due to the wet winter/spring but this year I’m more hopeful. Happy counting 🦋

Sandhurst Entry, Belfast.

Bit of cleaning alleys around me today. Lots just thrown away that could be reused.

For anyone interested, Russell Court is now down on the Lisburn Road. Soon to be a new QUB building opening in 2027.

Mount Charles has been cleaned by Qub staff today. 🫡

The sun may be away but the plants 🪴 are still blooming. This morning I did a wee litter pick. There was a lot of plastic....A LOT!

Read all about Belfast's first #KidicalMass cycle ride. Tldr: a soggy triumph! belfastcyclecampaign.com/campaigns/f/...

Tell the people who mean something to you that they mean something to you while you're all still here to say and receive it. Don't put it off.

“Between 1969 and 2001 3,532 people died during the troubles. During the same period 7291 died on the roads.” sluggerotoole.com/2025/02/04/r...

Please note: we have had to change the location of The Big Belfast Hills Balsam Bash to Ballysillan Park. All other information remains the same and booking can be done on our website: belfasthills.org/events/big-b...

Nice new view from Lisburn Road end of Camden st. Can now see the two Uni Road churches. Due to be a new Queens University 👷‍♂️ 🏢 🏗 building.

This is so important. Please ensure you park or leave bins in a suitable place.

Two years ago I tried growing broccoli and all the plants died. But these ones under netting are doing all right this year! Just picked these for dinner.

Alleyway Camden street Before

Wildlife increasing in Claremont Alley Garden of late. More bees this year already. Plenty of birds and some baby including a woodpigein for second year running.

Join us at Queen's University on Tuesday 10th June from 10am for a discussion reflecting what if we treated Belfast like a National Park. We'll hear from an array of experts and muse how Belfast can be better for us and biodiversity. Register here: lnkd.in/evrHtZGs

📢Tell the government to stop stalling the urgent action needed and start to breathe life back into our precious waters by taking action! Please tell DAERA, by sharing the impacts you are aware of on the loughs, rivers, streams and sheughs you care about. Thanks bit.ly/DAERAwater

@belfastcc.bsky.social This has been logged for weeks. Mattresses, clothes, rubbish and a burnt out motorbike. Gates now for this alley. Its a disgrace.

Harpers Yard back for Summer. Sunday 22nd June: 10am to 12pm. Cakes, buns, social gathering and drinks. Cross Parade on Ormeau Road

A dead tree stump is enough for a whole mini-world of plant + invertebrate life. Ireland's last fragments of temperate rainforest are so incredibly species-rich and precious, yet are still almost all being killed off by alien invasive sika deer, goats, + rhodo. It's an all-out war on life.

Great day showcasing art at Wildflower Alleys 10th Anniversary celebrations. Watch this space for more art coming to green spaces with the Urban Art truck. Thanks to @micky-murray.bsky.social for the plaque and kind words.

Which MLA's sibling is getting paid to build this shit, fess up

Come and see the first outing if the art truck at Wildflower Alley at 3pm today. Daniela Balmaverde will unveil 3 murals to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Wildflower Alley. @micky-murray.bsky.social will be there too. Food, art, socialising what more could ya want.

Just dropped off a new sign for Wildflower alley, Holyland, Belfast. Art by danielabalmaverde. Frame courtesy of local alleyway. Love recycling ♻️

Wee bee came to visit alleyway garden. Every little helps.

Remember to register for the Planning at Queen's University Belfast and Wild Belfast conference asking "What if Belfast was a National Park City?" E.g. what if schools and universities offered nature rich green infrastructure to encourage ecological awareness and an asset for communities?

Half a bag of rubbish today. Not too bad. Also saved a baby thrush from a magpie trying to eat it too.

Three weeks until Belfast's first Kidical Mass!! Get your (free) tickets. Don't miss out!!

Ill be joining Wildflower Alley to showcase the murals commissioned for their 10th Anniversary. Come and see the Urban Art truck, which was designed to bring art to small green spaces such as alleys via ebike. 😀

New view on Camden Street. Big yellow City Hospital. The old Rissel Court won't exist soon by the progress being made.

Maybe we need to invest in moss over some buildings?
