Welcome!
Since 1919, the aim of the Long Ashton Horticultural Society has been to promote flower and vegetable growing, and to bring people together to learn from each other. The centrepiece of our year is our Annual Show, a community event, for villagers to share with each other the amazing things that they have grown, cooked, photographed or made. But we also hold regular events throughout the year, including visits and talks.
Our last event was a members-only one: Zoom talk by David Usher about the restoration of Hestercombe gardens near Taunton, on Tuesday 5th March.
This was an excellent illustrated talk, taking us through the history and long restoration of these amazing gardens. For those who couldn’t make it – well, you missed a treat! And those of us who were present would surely all agree that Hestercombe is well worth a visit – so take a look at their website Hestercombe and maybe plan a visit for the spring or summer months.
Our next event will be a talk in the Jubilee Pavilion when we’ll welcome back Helen Mugridge to speak about her lovely wildlife garden in Gloucestershire. This talk is on Tuesday 19 March 2024, doors opening at 7.15 pm, and is also open to non members.
