Are you having technical problems with the registration form?

We apologise if you are having problems with the form.  We are checking entries against standard educational email formats but we know that a few schools do not follow the standard formats, or indeed, that our list is not complete.

If your email is not accepted or if you are having any other issues with the form, please supply the details on this additional form.  If you are eligible for a free kit we will get you registered quickly.

Please only use this link if you are eligible for a free kit and  are having problems registering.  If you have a general question, please use the contact button at the foot of the page.

Extra kits and Grow Bags are available and all purchases will help to raise funds for Grow your Own Potatoes

If you are not eligible for a kit, or were too late to receive a free potato growing kit for 2024, a Children’s patio kit, has been developed which replicates the growing kits going into schools this year. These are being offered for sale on this site, with 20% of sales for these kits going towards funding the GYOP project.

These kits are also ideal for children / grandchildren, or if you would like to donate a kit to a local youth group.

We would strongly recommend that you join the mailing list if you buy a Children's Pack and we will keep you up to date with the GYOP project as spring progreses.

We also have other patio sets and grow bags for you on this site. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions or need more information
