Save the date, we reviving our POTATO DAY.
Who doesn’t love the wonderfully versatile spud; chips, roasted, baked or in a salad.
But they’re no longer quite ‘as cheap as chips’ these days. So we’re on a mission to help everyone from 8 to 80 years to grow a plateful… in your garden, window sill or on your front step.
Whether you’re a seasoned allotmenteer or a curious young digger, join us at the Gardens on Sunday February 15th.
There’ll be a selection of different seed potatoes to buy in small quantities as well as a few ‘grow in a bag’ free kits.
Change Kitchen cic, the community food company, will be cooking up a range of savoury (and sweet) potato dishes to savour and there’ll be delish recipes to take away.
We’ll take the mystery out of growing your own too, with expert advice to find what on earth ‘chitting’ is and the difference between ‘earlies’ and ‘maincrop’.
We may also tackle whether there’s any truth in the traditional ‘potato planting day’. Now is it Good Friday or St Patricks Day ???
And we can’t have a Potato Day without some potato printing and Mr Potato Head….. free family activites
York Supplies Community Coop will be selling – at really reasonable prices -a range of seed potatoes – from earlies to maincrop. You don’t have to buy load… dip in to growing by buying just one or two and see your single potato become a whole plateful of mash, roasties or chips later in the year.
