Welcome
Ashtead Horticultural Society was founded in 1875 and is thought to be one of the oldest Societies in Ashtead. It is a community based organisation run by elected volunteers for the benefit of its members and the community. Our main aim is to promote horticulture in an environment which is as sociable and friendly as possible.
The Society offers a programme of evening talks with guest speakers, two flower shows, an annual visit to a national garden, a coffee morning with sale of plants and cakes, summer walk to members’ gardens, and discounts for members at many local shops.
We have over 500 members who have an interest in gardening and plants. Some have large gardens, others small and some no gardens at all. We are not a group of experts; our knowledge is wide and varied. What we do have in common is an interest in horticulture and in learning more about it.
New Membership Benefit
We’re delighted to announce that AHS Members can now benefit from a whopping 20% discount off many items at Chessington Garden Centre – by signing up via the link on our membership page.
This is in addition to the 10% discount you can already get at Ashtead Park Garden Centre just by showing your card at the till, so make the most of the Easter weekend and get gardening!
AHS Coffee Morning & Plant Sale
Grab a pen and note the change of date for our coffee morning in your Programme… It will be held on Saturday 16th May, which gives you an extra week to grow or divide some plants to donate. Members always welcome the opportunity to buy local perennials, vegetable seedlings and trays of annuals.
