Quarry Park is the town’s principal recreational space and one of its most cherished green areas. Covering 29 acres, the Quarry has been welcoming residents and visitors alike since 1719 and remains open to the public 24 hours a day, throughout the year, including most public holidays. Maintained to exceptionally high standards and befitting such a prominent location, the Quarry offers a unique blend of heritage, horticulture and leisure facilities. Tree-lined walks, open amenity grassland and beautifully tended gardens create a setting that is both peaceful and vibrant, whatever the season. A wonderful green space that offers so much to the community users of the park.   <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/8a/67f1d3d51f8b87dd5ad5b0.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="291" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> It was so nice to see many people enjoying the facilities. The play areas were filled with children playing on the equipment, games of football, rounders and other grass sports were all being enjoyed on the open grass areas. Plus there well over 150 people sitting around the old Victorian bandstand, being entertained by the Wellinton Town brass band. One of many who have been booked to play on the Bandstand in the park throughout the summer season.   <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/26/cfc4f24b4749d1336fd338.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="288" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> I always enjoy coming to the park, especially to see the renowned spring and summer bedding displays that Shrewsbury Town Council provide. Unfortunately, the spring show of flowers were virtually over, with many spring flowering daffodils and tulips gone over. However, the council will be replanting the flower beds in early June with an array of summer bedding plants.    <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/8b/c9028b2f4647c74297bf9b.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="280" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> As a Green Flag judge it is refreshing to see a park that still maintains such high horticultural standards and tries to retain the skills and knowledge to provide such a spectacular display and well-kept park.    <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/76/ec4ac9437cc115d29f7488.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="285" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> I have written numerous articles on the value of parks, including recently -  <ul> <li><a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1n5o8hkifpm/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">THE TRUE VALUE OF PARKS</a></li> <li><a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1kyulz5iulx/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CONCERN FOR PARKS FOLLOWING COUNCIL BANKRUPTCIES</a></li> <li><a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/h3ltg3fh0vq/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE WILL WE FIND THE NEXT GENERATION OF PARKS PROFESSIONALS?</a></li> </ul> All of these paint a picture of the importance and value of a public open green space. Just seeing all these people enjoying the values of the Quarry Park puts into perspective the real meaning of parks. They are essentially priceless, but for too many years now their maintenance budgets have been vastly eroded. Many local authorities now fail to provide the facilities that made them such valuable assets in the first place, such as spring and summer bedding displays, bowling greens, toilets, play areas, tennis courts, cafes, and events.      <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/5a/ab95b036d3486f1a21a7e8.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="282" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> Fields in Trust have written a report that reveals the true value of parks, that is <a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/4rk4v2o8vx7/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">well worth a read</a>.   Also Drew Bennellick, head of Land and Nature Policy at the National Lottery Heritage Fund has written a piece entitled “<a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1ciwkw09voj/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why should we invest in parks?</a>” for the Parks Management Association that clearly advocates the value of parks open spaces.    <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/76/d24226e5cae254898c06dd.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="286" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt="">   Examining 26 years of National Lottery investment in the UK’s parks and green spaces Drew argues that maintaining parks is about far more than mowing grass and emptying bins. With more than £1 billion invested in regenerating over 900 parks, the findings highlight how these spaces support physical health, mental wellbeing and community life - particularly since Covid-19 increased public reliance on local green spaces. Crucially, the report says the greatest benefits come when investment also supports community facilities, engagement and inclusive access, rather than focusing solely on physical improvements. I encourage you to have a read in full.   For me personally, maybe it is time for the general public began to start champion these great assets and change the government’s thinking, finally bringing about change to provide the essential maintenance these public parks deserve.  My weekend outing to the Quarry in Shrewsbury certainly allowed me to see the joy these public parks bring to their local communities.

Concentrating on plant resilience is an approach that has seen some turf managers withstand such conditions better than others, especially when the focus has been on grass health,” she says.  Kate says that use of silicon based biostimulants is not new. However, further research has shown that silicon can help grass to prepare for, and withstand, abiotic stress more successfully.  “Taking measures to deal with the difficulties of drought has often been reactive and unfortunately for some, too little too late. The principle of using silicon biostimulants is that turf grasses are being made ready for the stress that drought brings. With irrigation supplies being challenged in the worst droughts and fertilisers only able to provide a modicum of soft growth, the use of silicon can help bolster turf health during dry spells,” she adds.  Opting for a biological solution is more sustainable than a reliance on purely chemical solutions and can also offer cost savings, she says. However, it is most likely to be effective in instances where it forms part of an integrated turf management system.    <img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/5a/44c7a7bb8c83135261fbe3.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="356" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""> Silicon helps to stimulate turf grasses to grow deeper seeking roots. This enables the plant to find moisture deeper in the soil structure where it is both more available and easier to obtain. “Minimising unnecessary disturbance, encouraging microbial activity, and gradually building organic matter all contribute to a more functional rootzone. The objective is not simply to hold water, but to create a system where water can be stored and accessed effectively,” says Kate.  Combining silicon with phosphite is one method that has seen the biostimulant Fossil become a go to for many seeking to strengthen turf and make it more resilient to drought stress. The combination supports plant structure and root function by reinforcing cell walls, improving turgor retention and sustaining root activity when moisture is hard to find.  “Efficiency of water use has become more important than simply considering volume. This is why preparing plants to deal with abiotic stresses is potentially more important than trying to find ways to keep up water application. Encouraging deeper rooting, avoiding shallow irrigation patterns, and making more informed decisions based on monitored soil moisture all contribute to better outcomes,” she adds.  Kate concludes that inevitably conditions are forcing a change of culture and that turf management will come with environmental stresses that can adversely affect the visual appearance of grass, but that there needs to be a change in mindset to overcome this.  “The opportunity now is to build systems that are designed to cope with stress, rather than look at ways to recover. Healthier soils, deeper rooting, and stronger plant physiology all play a role in that transition. There is no single solution, and no input that replaces good agronomy. But, there is a clear rationale for futureproofing and using new tools to endure perpetual problems.” Drought conditions Kate Finlayson https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/5a/44c7a7bb8c83135261fbe3.jpg https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/a7/09cff1e9229ce3325f4a5b.jpg Read more 40th ANNIVERSAY OPEN DAY https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1cn8sm0bn5h?lang=en&rss=true Campey Turf Care Systems invite everyone to celebrate 40 years of turf care innovation on Thursday 9th July 2026, from 10:00am – 6:00pm, at their Bosley, Macclesfield, HQ. 18 May 2026 12:00:00 BST 3ad5f3eb94825a6a9cbc29a7d78d3c90 Jobs Thursday 9th July 2026 Campey Turf Care Systems invite everyone to celebrate 40 years of turf care innovation on Thursday 9th July 2026, from 10:00am – 6:00pm, at their Bosley, Macclesfield, HQ.   <a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1fk2pf55tf9/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img src="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/dd/c6f1a659c0dfea6f68e75f.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="475" height="226" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt=""></a>   <a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1fk2pf55tf9/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Campey Turf Care Systems</a> say -    Join us as we celebrate 40 years of turf care innovation on Thursday 9th July 2026, from 10:00am – 6:00pm, at Campey Turf Care Systems, The Crossroads, Buxton Road, Bosley, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 0PS.   There’s plenty to enjoy throughout the day, experience a day bursting with live demos, cutting-edge technology, new innovations, and knowledge sharing… <ul> <li>Live demonstrations showcasing the latest turf care machinery</li> <li>Opportunities to explore cutting-edge technology and solutions</li> <li>Networking with fellow turf professionals and industry experts</li> <li>Refreshments available all day</li> <li>BBQ served from midday</li> <li>Ice creams from 2:00pm</li> </ul> This is a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate with us as we mark this milestone.   We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating this special occasion together.   Best regards, The Campey Team   <a href="https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1fk2pf55tf9/external?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">REGISTER TODAY</a> Campey Turf Care Systems https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/v3files/shard1/10951/dd/c6f1a659c0dfea6f68e75f.jpg Find out more YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE COULD REACH THE UK TURF PROFESSIONAL SECTOR https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/mjee0eigtqq?lang=en&rss=true Highlight your product or service to the people that matter by taking out a Sponsored Product Announcement [ https://landpower.newsweaver.co.uk/turfpro/1epjiwsm4q8/external?lang=en ] in TurfPro.
