Appropriately on midsummer’s day, take a look at the thermometer reading in Apley Walled Garden. It’s always a few degrees hotter inside the walls, which is very welcome in mid winter of course. Head Gardener Phil Allen said it’s the hottest temperature that he has ever so far recorded in the garden.
