As promised, we’re moving our annual opportunity to buy seed potatoes online again this year. Hopefully next year we’ll be able to return to the usual hall-full-of-stalls event, but at least it’s super easy to place your orders.
- Place your order now
- We’ll collect the orders and buy everything wholesale from the supplier
- We’ll let you know when it’s ready to collect (in a few weeks’ time)
- (…though if all you’re buying is seed packets, you can choose postal delivery at the checkout!)
It’s a great chance to buy from a much bigger selection than you’d typically find in the usual garden supply shops. All money raised above the cost of the stock goes directly into supporting the Glasgow Allotments Forum, providing opportunities like the Allotment Development Awards, which let plot sites across Glasgow bid for money to improve their facilities.
What’s on sale?
- Potatoes (43 varieties)
- Shallots, onion sets and garlic bulbs (11 varieties)
- Fruit & veg seed packets (151 varieties)
- Flower seed packets (60 varieties)
- Compost (4 varieties)
- plus fertilisers and patio potato bags…
When will the next potato day? thank you kevin rooney Queens Park Allotment Association
It’s usually a date in February, and for the past several years (pre-Covid) it’s been at Reidvale Community Centre just east of the city centre. We might be looking at something physical again in 2023, but maybe not at the same scale. Keep an eye out on the GAF pages around December for info once we’ve got some concrete plans in place!
