  2. Hulme Community Garden Centre is a unique community led inner-city horticultural project. • The seeds were planted in 1998 by 3 local residents to encourage healthy living through gardening and food growing. • Volunteers have been integral from day one and they continue to be at the heart of everything we do. • In turn we provide somewhere people can learn about horticulture and, for many, use as therapy and rehabilitation. • We are a ‘garden centre with a difference, that makes a difference’…
