Frome Potato Day and Seed Swap

Frome Field 2 Fork are holding another Potato Day and Seed Swap on 15th February, 10am – 2pm at the Cheese & Grain.

The promise of spring, with a sweet breath of fresh air, is upon us. Hope and renewal are visible and the excitement of the beginning of a new cycle of growth is felt amongst us all.

Cherished by many, this annual event gathers gardening enthusiasts, community groups and enterprises, local producers and businesses to celebrate local food and horticulture together. Whether you’re a seasoned horticulturalist or just beginning to explore gardening, Potato Day offers all the essentials to get your growing season underway including seed potatoes, bulbs, seeds, plants, fruit trees and of course the community seed swap so bring your excess seeds in clearly marked paper envelopes, and plants, to swap for exciting new varieties.
