Stop In For Lunch!

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets at Ashcombe is the tasty temptations served at our Country Cafe.  Each day we offer several different lunch options and 2 hot soups.  In addition, we always have a wonderful selection of sides, gourmet chips, desserts and specialty drinks.  Take a break and relax in our eating area where we offer free wifi to our visitors.

Seeds Are Here - Think Spring!!

SEEDS ARE HERE!

I think it's safe to say that we are all a little sick of winter and ready for some nice warm rays of sun.  Ahhh...the thoughts of small seedlings growing, offering us the promise of spring and a bountiful harvest in our gardens.  It's time to get started!  This is one of my favorite times of the year to dream about what I will put in my garden, where I'll plant it, what fun additions I will make to my landscape.  No better way to spend a snowy day!

Ashcombe's seeds are here with a great selection from Burpee, Lake Valley, Botanical Interests and PL Rhorer.  Onion sets, shallots and garlic bulbs are here too - just waiting to be included in your garden dream!
