Upcoming Events At Ashcombe

I can't believe January is half over already!  Spring is just around the corner - it will be here before we know it!  Now is a great time to plan your summer garden.  Our seeds will begin arriving in a couple of weeks.  It's always fun to browse through the packs and dream about digging in the warm dirt!

We have been working hard to come up with seminars and workshops for 2013 that will help with some of your gardening questions and needs, as well as some great garden craft for kids.  You can check out the complete schedule for 2013 at www.ashcombe.com/interactivecalendar.htm.
