It is FREE to take part and schools that took part this year (2008) will receive an email inviting them to take part in 2009. In addition Potato Council is offering a further 2000 growing kits to enable even more schools to benefit from the project. These will be available to the first 2000 schools that register on line.

From their website:
"A project that teaches primary aged children about potatoes.
With almost 1 million primary school children benefiting from this classroom experience linked to the UK curricula, children learn how potatoes grow and how they fit in to a healthy balanced diet.

All you have to do is register your school (or home school) to receive a FREE potato growing kit, use the supporting lesson plans and worksheets and for a chance to win fabulous prizes for your school, enter the competition once you have harvested.

I have used these people before and have had no problems in the past.
We Home Educate our girls and they still send out the stuff to us.

Have fun growing next year!!
