Apley Dog Show schedule

Apley Dog Show (Sat 15 Aug) is raising funds to help dog rescue charities & research into canine cancer. So get ready to enter your dogs in one of the very varied classes – there’s even a class for the dog with the waggiest tail !

Today has a been a busy Monday at Apley Farm Shop as we prepare for August. We’re constantly evolving, so no day is ever the same there, which keeps us all on our toes. The Window Film Company have spent all day applying UV films to the farm shop windows to reduce heat from sunshine by 70%. We beautifully converted the barn in winter 2010 using glass & oak, but the lovely sunshine has sometimes caused us overheating problems! We have used half mirror reflective film (on the higher windows) & half solar control film which you can easily see through (on the lower windows).

Phil Allen, Head Gardener of Apley Walled Garden, was again on BBC Radio Shropshire’s Gardeners’ Question Time yesterday, Sunday 12-1pm. To listen again, click HERE & start at 01:07:49.
