Potato to Packet is set to break the boundaries of garden design and is going to be something very different to what you have seen previously at the Bloom festival. There will be a massive topiary sculpture of Mr. Tayto standing at 17 feet tall at one end and a giant waterwheel at the other end of the garden.
The waterwheel drives the 85 feet of conveyor belts which weave their way through the garden giving the public different views of the various processes involved in making crisps from the initial lifting of potatoes from the ground to the washing, peeling, slicing and eventually cooking to make bags of crisps magically appear at the other end. This will all be achieved with the planting themed around the ingredients involved in producing crisps.
