At the start of 2023 the Leonard Design team settled on a theme for the company for the year, Leonard GROW. This initiative illustrated the goal to encourage the team to grow as individuals through career planning & training. Alongside this the team would look to grow more greenery both at home and in the office for harvesting and wellbeing advantages.
With help from Robyn & Sam and their experiences of hydroponic systems, the Nottingham office installed their very own system with the aim to grow, and eat some homegrown (or office grown) greens.
This month saw the first large scale harvest, including:
- Cavolo Nero
- Curly Kale
- Pak Choi
- Red Choi
- Butterhead lettuce
- Thai Basil
- Italian Basil
- Green chillies (quite spicy too!)
All of this would not have been possible without the amazing help and support from the full hydroponics team of Robyn, Sam and Jiax. Furthermore, the whole team have developed green fingers and in-turn a better understanding of a ‘farm to fork’ experience.
