In January 2016, Hale Community Centre made the decision to create a fruit and vegetable garden in the then lawned area at the front of the centre. A garden for the community, planted and maintained by volunteers.

To facilitate this new garden project “Get Growing@the Bungalow” £10k of funding was secured from the People's Health Trust to design, create and maintain the area; encouraging active participation and control.

Since its official launch, the “Get Growing@the Bungalow” project has gone from strength to strength; it’s now established as an award winning fruit vegetable garden, groups involved in the project are able to share their experiences and knowledge to grow a variety of produce including tomatoes, beans, beetroot and salad vegetables.
