Green on the map

Sustainable, circular, local...

...You come across these terms everywhere. Greener in Leiden shows you how surprisingly many cool locations you can visit where the environment is considered, while the most beautiful and delicious products are made. Mostly by Leiden people themselves!

How about Leidse Deken, made from 100% Dutch virgin wool? Or beautiful clothing by Saskia, she makes all kinds of products from used materials. And buy an original nature frame, in which your old bouquet of flowers is turned into a work of art. Bartering is also great: books, clothes, plants, trees.... it's all possible.

Local tastes like more

Grow your own mushrooms with coffee grounds from the Leiden hospitality industry, then bake a pizza funghi! Or eat out, at several restaurants they pay attention to the environment while you enjoy just as much. Ever heard of the 80/20 ratio? You can just eat meat, but vegetables play the main role, you can taste that at LAB071 for example.

In the store Oogst you will discover real local products from regenerative farmers and artisanal makers, from Leiden and surroundings. Like farm cheese and meat from Warmond, ultra-fresh vegetables from Roelofarendsveen and chicken from Zoeterwoude. Enjoy!
