GYOP 2008
Grow Your Own Potatoes
This year’s Grow Your Own Potatoes (GYOP) competition will be the biggest so far, with 10,000 schools registered to take part.
The Potato Council provides seed potatoes to schools for the competition and a range of educational material to complement the growing activities. For more information, visit www.potatoesforschools.org.uk.
We’re helping out by offering local primary schools some additional seed potatoes and Haxnicks' Potato Patio Planters so that more children can gain firsthand experience of potato growing. During March our 'potato people' visited a number of schools in Lincolnshire, Scotland and Somerset and showed the children how to get their potatoes off to a good start.
See our news section for more stories about our school visits.
