Getting ready for Spookley Week at Apley Farm Shop

Pumpkin carving cavern

Wooden pumpkins for entrance drive & roadsides

At Apley Farm Shop, everyone’s been getting ready for our 3rd Spookley Pumpkin Festival week. This afternoon when I called Tina, our General Manager, she was up a ladder decorating this pumpkin cavern which I think looks great. I jumped on my bike one morning a few weeks ago to whizz to a street lined with fabric & textiles shops. I bought as much orange & black lining as I could fit in my basket & am delighted to see it put to use here.

I heard Phil has been down on the pumpkin patch today, getting it ready for children to come & select theirs to carve [in this tent]. Look out for an article in the Bridgnorth Journal about his pumpkins & squashes grown in Apley Walled Garden.
