The largest selection of high quality certified seed potatoes for gardeners and allotment growers in the West Midlands

ABOUT THE SHROPSHIRE POTATO DAY

​
After having participated in the Hampshire Potato Day for a number of years now, we decided that a large event, where there is real choice and an great selection of seed potatoes available for the enthusiastic gardener, allotment grower and potato enthusiast was missing in the Midlands. Last year we had our third event, and this year on the 5th February we are holding our fifth event.

​

Last year we had 120 different varieties of seed potatoes available in small 2.5kg bags but also as single tubers, perfect for trying various varieties, and experts to speak to. We have not yet confirmed the varieties available, but it will be similar to last year. Keep looking at this site and they will be shown very soon.

 

The Queen Mother Hall at Harper Adams where we will be holding this event again has great car-parking facilities right by the door, Once indoor, you can browse the range in your own time, and help yourself to a cuppa coffee or tea on us. We have also invited some other local rural traders to join us, to make the day extra special..

 

Alan Wilson, author of The People's Potatoes will be here again with great advice and he is making his book available at great discount.

 

For the kids there will be a free coloured potato to take home an grow, and there are also colouring sheets, leaflets and other potato related information, free to take away.

 

There is a small charge of £1 on the door which pays for the venue and facilities, but for that you will also get a catalogue of all the varieties available and their full descriptions. There is no need to book in advance, just turn up on the day, we look forward to seeing you.
