Potato Day Sun 18th Feb 2024

GAF’s Potato Day returns as a physical event!

This is our annual sale of seed potatoes, onions, garlic, seeds and compost to help you kick-start the season.

Come along on the day and grab what you like. Take a 2kg bag, or pick-n-mix individual tubers just to try a selection.

Grab yourself a tea and a cake at the cafe too!

Venue: Kinning Park Centre

It’s also a great chance to meet other people from across the city.

Last time – before the pandemic – we had over 500 people through the doors!

We’ll be smaller this year as a new organisation team takes up the reins, but just as much fun.

Any proceeds go into funding things like the Allotment Development Awards, allowing allotment sites to bid for infrastructure improvements, and the New Plotholder Awards, encouraging fresh growers.

The advance bulk discount ordering window is closed now, so if you’ve missed out then take note for next year:
