Corporate Challenges ....
We have a proven track record of working with businesses. We offer bespoke corporate challenges and team building acitivities to suit large or small groups.
Challenge days offer an ideal opportunity for staff development whilst making a difference to the local community.

Hulme Community Garden in Albert Square, Manchester, for Mancheser Confidential.
 We celebrated Hulme Community Garden Centre's 10 years in September 2008 !
It was a party to remember with music by The Blimp, Sally Murray, Fiddler John and MC Johnny. Photos coming very soon...
Green roof and balcony ...
HCGC has partnered Manchester City Council’s Green City and South Manchester Regeneration Teams, the BBC, Wildlife Trust and the Red Rose Forest Network to undertake a green roof project at the HCGC site. We’re currently building (with our good friends at Outer Space Landscapes) three green roofs on top of the steel containers.
They’re going to look fantastic and we’ve built a viewing platform (so you can see what it’s all about!) which is also a balcony so we can demonstrate what can be achieved on a balcony garden.
It’s Manchester’s first Green Roof development utilising sun-pipe technology to be fully open to the public - and it’s currently all being filmed for BBC2’s Springwatch program!
We’ll soon be establishing a living wall to keep it company as well. More than just looking gorgeous we are going to be using the development to educate groups and the public about the environmental, bio-diversity and sustainability benefits that green roofs provide.
We’ll be having a wild flower meadow specifically to attract bees, a vegetable plot and, erm, we haven’t quite decided what the third one will be!
