Rydal Community Vegetable Garden is a small, voluntary scheme set up in the original walled garden of Rydal Hall, in the English Lake District. The garden had been disused and overgrown for many years. In 2005 work began to clear it, landscape it, and return the garden to productivity. The idea has been to create a working vegetable garden, which is maintained by volunteers, who in return benefit from sharing ideas and harvesting seasonal, local, organic produce. This has created an additional feature amongst Rydal Hall’s own, recently restored gardens, which can be visited by all as a place to see, learn and relax.
The Vegetable Garden has a small Visitors Centre, accessible paths and information signs. It is organised into roughly defined areas. These include a large, traditional Greenhouse and a Poly-tunnel, which are used to establish younger plants and also house warmth loving species including Vines, Figs and Tomatoes. There is an Orchard with many lesser-known varieties of tree, which is also where the Chickens and Bee Hives are found. There is a Sensory Garden at the top end of the hill, which is planted with Herbs and has seating and views across the whole garden and out to the hills beyond. And the rest of the garden is a terraced mixture of Fruit, Vegetables and Flowers, including Strawberries, Pears, Beans, Courgettes, Potatoes, Lettuce and many, many more.
These films are a monthly journey through both the progress made and the changes seen in the garden, the seasons and the local area, during 2007.

The misty rain from upcountry Maui showers Grant Kawasaki and Darren Strand from Maui Pineapple as they tour the fields in Haliimaile.
Maui Pineapple Company brings a century of agricultural operations, including farming, harvesting and canning, retail management, and research and development to Hawaii and her people.
With his extensive land holdings firmly rooted on Maui, Henry Perrine Baldwin formed Keahua Ranch Company in 1909, which changed to Haleakala Pineapple Company in 1929 and eventually became Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. in 1932. In West Maui, H.P. Baldwins Honolua Ranch became Baldwin Packers when it turned to pineapple as its primary crop.
Eventually, the company grew to cultivate several thousand acres in pineapple, which were harvested for canning and juice. Maui Pineapple Company purchased the Kahului cannery facility in 1934 and began hauling all their fruit from the fields in Haliimaile, East Maui by five-ton trucks. Over the next decade, the Haliimaile Plantation village grew to include a dispensary, gym, kitchen, theater, meeting hall and store.
In Central Maui, the cannery was a hive of activity for processing canned pineapple and pineapple juice. The company employed hundreds of workers, many of whom stayed for a lifetime. In 1962, West Mauis Baldwin Packers and the Maui Pineapple Company operations merged under one umbrella. The Lahaina cannery was closed and all pineapple processing moved to Kahului Cannery. In the late 1960s, the company entered into a joint venture known as the Maui Container Company to manufacture cans. For four decades, Maui Pineapple Company processed millions of tons of pineapple and manufactured billions of cans. In 2007, the can plant and cannery processing facility closed.
When Maui Gold® extra sweet pineapple was introduced in 2005, Maui Pineapple Companys focus turned to fresh pineapple for wholesale and retail markets. The company began building a $24 million, cutting edge multi-purpose processing facility in Kahului next to its cannery, which opened in June 2006. While this facility concentrates on fresh fruit packing, it also provides agricultural services, such as refrigerated storage, freight consolidation and warehousing to the greater Maui farming and food processing community.
