Green fingers, fresh produce

Staff and students at Leeds Trinity University are growing their own fruit and vegetables in a community garden within the Horsforth campus's Enterprise Centre.

Becky Mears from seasonal baking business The Travelling Tea Ladies instigated the idea after her work with the Incredible Edible group in Guiseley.
