Welcome to the Long Ashton Horticultural Society
Since 1919, the Long Ashton Horticultural Society has been promoting flower and vegetable growing, bringing members of the local community together to learn from each other or just for enjoyment. The centrepiece of our year is our Annual Show, a chance for anyone to share the amazing things that they have grown, cooked, photographed or made. Saturday 5th September 2026 will be our 100th show! But we do so much more across the year, holding events and talks on a range of subjects including wildlife and crafts. Even if your 'garden' is just a couple of flower pots, there's plenty for you to enjoy.

Long Ashton (or just 'LA') is in North Somerset, just south of Bristol. Learn more about the Horticultural Society and how you can be a part of it, or check out this selection of plant facts.
The annual show is the highlight of our year! Download the Schedule of Classes and entry form for this year's show, which will be our 100th. Also see pictures from last year.
Through the visits, talks and workshops that we run you can learn more about plants, nature, crafts and gardening. See our schedule of events for 2026, read more about us or see photos of recent activities.
Coming soon
But we still have events in August as well. Download the programme of all 2026 events.
The big event coming up is of course our 100th Show! We want it to be for everyone, young and old alike. And not all the classes even require a garden - like this brilliant opportunity to show what can be done with a plastic bottle and a bit of imagination!
Visit the Show page for more details of how to enter, and the (new for 2026) entry form.
