Here at Lee Greens we hate to see good food go to waste. That’s why we make sure we donate surplus veg to local good causes, helping out others in our community who are in need. No doubt, you feel the same, and this week, following on from the excellent storage tips a couple of weeks ago, we thought we’d give you some ideas for reducing waste even further.

You may be throwing away parts of your vegetables that you don’t want to eat (who wouldn’t?) but in fact sometimes there’s an opportunity to regrow in your own home or garden. Fun and useful!

Here’s a few tips to help you get the most out of your Lee Greens summer vegetables and enjoy your salad days! 

Lettuce, leafy greens etc

We're not only at the cutting veg for seasonal produce - did you know we also offer a weekly fruit bag? And with the British summer soft fruit season on the way, (think classic Wimbledon combos of strawberries and cream) what better time than now to consider a Lee Greens fruit cornucopia.

In a week where Elizabeths (the new rail line) have been high on the news agenda Lee Greens wanted to put our Elizabeth front and centre stage. On the eve of Elizabeth's first year as our scheme coordinator we thought it would be an opportune time to catch up and find out about her role in bringing delicious, seasonal fare to you each week.
