Potato Day 2nd March 2013

27 January 2013

TBI's third Potato Day

2nd March 2013 at North Kessock Village Hall

Two sessions, 2pm and 3:30pm, closing at 5pm

Entry £1, free for TBI members and under 16s

Seed potatoes 10p each 

At least 60 varieties

Light meals (soups, baked potatoes...) and refreshments available from 1:30pm to 5pm

This year we plan to have 25% more potatoes than 2012 and to split it into two sessions to reduce the initial rush, all potatoes will be available at both sessions. We'll again be sourcing as many potatoes as possible from local growers and the remainder from Scottish seed mechants. Some organically grown varieties will be available.

There will be a seed and plant swap stall so please bring any surplus saved or bought seeds and plants.
