Today Growing Better CIC are delivering 50 vegboxes to the winners of the #Vegrocks Poster Competition.

The #Vegrocks Poster Competition is part of our Veg Cities campaign to increase the growing, sale and consumption of vegetables. FoodWise and Zest delivered the competition as a fun and creative activity for families during lockdown that celebrates the benefits of vegetables.

Thanks to the generosity of local Councillors in Gipton & Harehills, Bramley & Stanningley, Farnley & Wortley, Alwoodley and Chapel Allerton for sponsoring additional vegbox prizes for their wards, FoodWise was able to award 50 prizes.

We would like to thank everyone who entered their veg-tastic creations – they were amazing!

We hope the winners enjoy their amazing vegboxes and have a go at growing some microgreens from Growing Better. Each box also contains a copy of the locally produced ‘Cooking on a Shoestring’ recipe book and a painted #vegrock.
