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! See all the pictures from the last show and find out more about entering for the next one, which will be our 100th.
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.
