Planter & Basket Workshop

Thursday 15th May, 6.30pm - 8.30pm


Learn how to create a beautiful planted container or hanging basket as Anne guides you through the key things to consider, and helps you plant up your own to take home.

£15pp covers the tuition, refreshments from our café, and the compost for your container. You will have the opportunity to do a 'supermarket sweep' where you can choose your own container or basket and whatever plants you wish to add - these will be charged for on the night.

We have a wonderful range of perennial and annual plants to choose from, most of which are grown on site by the Ashbrook Team. Whatever your taste - the opportunities are limitless!

Garden Stories - Sally's 'Fiery' Border

Why not try Erysimums (perennial wallflower) and Tulips together this spring?  There are endless combinations of colours to experiment with - be as bold or as subtle as you like!
I accidentally created this border one spring after banishing these red tulips from the main borders to the front of the house. I’d sown a perennial seed mix previously and not thought much about it. It’s a tricky border that often gets flooded over winter by water running down the road. By happy accident these lovely golden perennial wallflowers came up and intermingled with the tulips. They seed about the border and have completely changed my mind about hot colours in a border!’

'Potty About Primroses'

At Ashbrook Nursery we are just ‘Potty about Primroses’. We don’t claim to be ‘experts’, but we are certainly enthusiastic about these lovely plants which delight us from autumn through to summer.

Defibrillator Fundraiser


A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to our defibrillator fundraiser.  We have now managed to purchase a defibrillator which is now located at the entrance to our garden centre.


Our 'Panto Trail' was a hugely popular fundraiser over Christmas with lots of entrants to our competition, and an impressive number of you finding all the answers, and even finding extras which we didn't create!  With so many full marks, we had to pick a winner based on most clues noted, so well done to Lucyna, Alicja, Robert & Marcin who have won a £30 Ashbrook voucher!

Our displays are shown in the gallery below.


"Great service and very helpful staff."
