Our new website launches

Our stunning new mobile-friendly website and online shop has just been launched, packed with award-winning plants and gardening accessories alongside a rich library of fascinating gardening tips and expert advice.

The new website showcases our passion for plants as well as our traditional values, individual style and commitment to supporting British growers.

Both the nursery and the garden hold a very special place in the hearts of our customers and we have tried to ensure that the website and online shop conveys the indefinable magic that is Ashwood Nurseries and John’s Garden.

It also puts the spotlight on the Ashwood Charitable Trust, the Adam Greathead Award and our Charity of the Year, all of which play their part in the Ashwood story.

The website has been a Herculean task, 18 months in the making, with an enormous amount of hard work and dedication going into its creation.  Thank you to all who have contributed in any way, whether it has been helping with content, putting products on the shop, providing photographs or testing user experience.  A special mention must go to Christian whose tireless support and technical expertise have been so freely given.

A sincere thank you to our website designers, Kaweb. Their challenge was to fully understand the unique and complex nature of our business, and they approached this task with outstanding professionalism, exceptional patience and good humour throughout. They have been an absolute pleasure to work with.

For me personally, the website has special significance because it’s been my ‘magnum opus’ before retiring after 57 years of service in horticulture at Ashwood.  I hope that the affection I have felt for all things Ashwood over those years shines through every part of the site.
