Plant Stories: Native Coffee
I’m Jenna, and I am the events, marketing and community engagement manager in Native. We started out as a community coffee shop and I think what tells us apart is that we are very values-driven. We do a lot in terms of our sustainable practices and our commitment to building community in a third space.
Plant Stories: Fergal Donnelly (Garden Designer, Consultant and Head Gardener at LQ BID)
My name is Fergal, I’m a gardener, and I do work for the Linen Quarter BID here in Belfast, and the Cathedral Quarter as well. We are just trying to do our bit to bring a bit of colour into the city and a bit of enjoyment for people. I think it’s nice for people to walk through the city centre in the mornings on the way to work and see things that are - you know - nice and help alleviate the boredom of the day!
What’s Your Earliest Plant Memory?
We asked the people of Belfast about their earliest plant memories
Plant Stories: FieldDay Ireland
We set up FieldDay back in 2002 to capture and bottle the scents of the Irish countryside; creating fragrance to inspire and connect you to nature. We’ve been long time financial supporters of Ulster Wildlife and were keen to take our partnership to the next level! We love Ulster Wildlife and all they do; looking after our wild places and wildlife, while also encouraging and educating at the same. We really believe that businesses can and should be a force for good in helping to conserve nature for future generations. That's why we jumped at the chance to sponsor Ulster Wildlife's ‘Let Nature In’ campaign! It just felt like a great fit for our ethos at FieldDay.
