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 8th October we have a talk by Amanda Barrett who will speak about the history of naturalistic gardening. See poster below, Mary has also sent out an email with full details. The talk is open to non-members so why not invite a friend or two? The event is at 7.15 for 7.45 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!
