Perfect weather for it.
From bonsai and cacti, begonias and roses the flowers drew the early crowds, many queuing to ensure they could make the most of 12 hours of entertainment.
Past chairman Stephen Kynaston said there were still tickets available for both Friday and Saturday but urged people to buy them early because of capacity on the Quarry Park."We have absolutely perfect weather this year," he said. "Last year we had to cancel the fireworks because of the heatwave and we are very much looking forward to putting on tremendous displays this year."The show winner in the horticultural section was Salop Leisure with its spectacular cottage garden based around a Shepherd Hut.Tom Pountney, head gardener of Love2Stay, part of Salop Leisure, said it had taken over a week to create the garden onsite after a year of design and growing the flowers and foliage.
Street food galore is on offer at the show but probably the most unusual snacks for visitors to try are the bugs on the Harper Adams university stand, as part of its sustainable farming and food development.
