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.  You just missed it! – but it will be back in 2025…

Here are just a few of the trophy winners at our 98th annual show, held on Saturday 7th September 2024.  For full picture gallery click here!

We also hold regular events throughout the year, including visits and talks. See our 2024 planned events here.  Also, subs for the next year are also now due – if you haven’t paid up, please do so!

Next event: on Thursday 31st October, Garden Designer Diana White will be talking about how to have a fabulous garden all year round.  A timely subject as many of our gardens start looking a bit ‘sad’ as the weather gets colder! The talk is open to non-members so why not invite a friend or two?  The event is at 7.15 in the Jubilee Pavilion at the Community Centre.

The 98th Long Ashton Flower Show

The 98th Annual Show took place on Saturday 7th September 2024 in the Village Hall. We thank everyone who entered the various classes, our members who helped on the day (or with setting up the night before), those who baked the delicious home-made cakes served by our team of volunteers, and of course all who attended the show.  Well done the winners!

The 2024 schedule and entry forms (PDF) are available here: Schedule, Entry Form.  You can have a look still and think what you might enter next year!  Or explore the site further and follow the links to find out more about the Show and how to become a member of the Society.
