Botanic Gardens


Early homework and presentation writing could keep me from enjoying the most beautiful day in Belfast’s history! I took a stroll to the Botanic Gardens, which is immediately south of the main campus building, and found myself in a sea of co-eds enjoying the blue sky and dry ground.




The Botanic Gardens were established in 1828 to the south of the Belfast city limits and the area has been used as a public park since 1895. Today it has been engulfed by the Queen’s University campus and has become my running route to the River Lagan.



Along the south edge of the park is an enormous rose garden. Rose species from all over the world and in all different colors surround a trellis structure where people sit peacefully.
