Thank You!

Thank you to the 1400 visitors who came from as far afield as Japan, Canada and Holland as well as many places much nearer to Worcestershire to visit Ashton in the sunshine, strolling through the village and the 27 gardens open for viewing. Many people said they particularly appreciated the warmth and friendliness of their welcome and the variety of gardens on display – and also the refreshments!

“We had a marvellous and memorable day! The organisation was faultless".....“Thank you for such a super gardens show yet again. Well organised, friendly and excellent value for money”.....“Our club members were very pleased with the welcome received, the food provided and the gardens they visited. If the committee agree, we will be returning.”

 

“The individuality of each garden was magical – we are inspired!”.....“We enjoyed meeting the owners and everyone was most helpful”.....“The organisation was excellent”.....“We enjoyed our first visit to the village and will definitely be back next year”.....“There is nothing you could improve, we had a perfect day”.....“No need to send me details of future events – I will come anyway!

 

“I enjoyed the playground best!” (Rosie aged 6).....“It was good that there were so many seats where we could rest and admire the gardens”....."We enjoyed all of it – but especially lunch and tea in the marquee”.....“Great cream teas and friendly people.”
