North Belfast women turn derelict dumping ground into thriving community garden

A group of women in North Belfast used lockdown to transform a derelict dumping ground into a blossoming community garden.

Magpie Ladies Garden was started in March 2020 as a way to brighten up residential streets near the Ballysillan Road.

Located down an entry just off Legann Street, the group are now able to sell fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants they grow to help fund the upkeep of the garden.
