Garden Organic strives to get more people growing and eating organically and there's no better time than during our National Potato Day to get people excited about the food growing process. The day kicks off the start of the growing year, highlighting the variety of great veg that is available to grow while inspiring more people to give home growing a try; we all love to eat potatoes, so why not make them home-grown and organic too?

This year we are promising a weekend packed full of growing tips, information, entertainment, cooking ideas, stalls, food, and of course a selection of around 100 different potato varieties to buy by the tuber.

As well as promoting home growing and making available a vast range of seed potatoes Garden Organic's Heritage Seed Library will also hold a seed swap during the day and people are invited to bring along their seeds, bought or saved, to swap for other varieties.
