Fellow tomato heads… this is a call to arms, or “a call to toms” for our Totally Terrific Tomato Festival display. If you can supply a variety that we don’t have, please, let us know! Check the extensive list below. You can message organisers at https://www.facebook.com/TotallyTerrificTomatoFestival/ or botanicgardens@opw.ie.
Our tomato guardians will be gratefully accepting your offerings on Friday 16th (all day,) and on Saturday 17th, before 10am, at the National Botanic Gardens. The display opens to the public on Saturday 17th at 2pm. The Tomato Day with tastings and talks is on August 31st.
We had these cultivars on display last year, but do not have any surviving plants — THEREFORE, if you have these toms in your collection, do bring them along:
