A Place for All Seasons
Each season holds something new, but what never changes is great plants! Dive into each season below, with pictures, events, and more.
Spring at Ashcombe
Step into the greenhouse to find bright, blooming bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils. Homegrown here, our team takes care to make sure they bloom at the perfect time for you.
As spring continues, our greenhouse fills up with vegetable plants and beautiful annuals, ready to be planted in your gardens. Be on the lookout for Plant Lists in early spring, which contain a list and descriptions of all the plants we anticipate having for the season.
Spring events: Spring Open House, Egg Hunt, Nursery Kickoff
Summer at Ashcombe
The busy season cools down when the temperatures go up. Summer is a great season to explore the gardens at Ashcombe, take a stroll through the store, and cool off with ice cream at the Country Café. Our Nursery (located across the street from the main store) is in bloom throughout the summer months!
Find everything you need for the perfect summer picnic in our Gourmet Foods department - from jams and jellies, to sweets and sauces!
Summer events: Backyard BBQ, Pollinator Day, Yard Sale, Butterfly Day

Fall is a magical season, with our store decorated in hues of orange, red, and yellow. Mums are a big spotlight this season, with over 9,500 mums grown right on our property! Keep an eye out for special tours of our mum production areas throughout the season.
Each season is an opportunity to celebrate, and fall is no different. From October to November, we celebrate our annual Fall Harvest Days! Join in the celebration with fun activities, special sampling days, and more.
