Ashwood Nurseries Exclusive Hellebore Tour / Homegrown Garden

[@tankgrrl07]

I’ve just purchased a yellow hellebore for myself and the grandmother in law. Didn’t realise until now all the different colours there are. That apricot colour was Devine.

[@timpuldupaserviciu.9003]

Hello ,from Germany the flowers are beautiful

[@melstill]

I don't think I've ever seen so many hellebore colors. Thanks for showing us. Nurseries and book stores are hard to get out of without buying something(s).

[@flowerpixel]

I also love the footage of the nursery. Def film anytime you visit!! It's good inspiration

[@sheiladoick8632]

Excellent tour Katrina, very professional and a good day for it. I’m definitely going to pencil in a trip. Please do more of these if you can. Thank you so much. 👍🌷

[@akatija]

I enjoyed the tour and seeing all the gorgeous plants and things, so yes please do more of this type of video. The apricot hellebore is stunning!

[@Peg06]

You seemed to be in heaven viewing all those gorgeous plants! Would love to see more like this. For those of us who can't have a garden right now, seeing your allotment gives us the same feeling you had today!

[@homegrowngarden]

Yes I was, it was absolute bliss 😍

[@ross6343]

OMG...my eyes were watering looking at all those hellebores! I don't know if it's because Carol Klein so smitten with hellebores or if it's I'm gobsmacked into wonderment at how a plant can produce such beauty in conditions that make me shiver every time I see hellebores, but I love hellebores! I'm glad there's the big A-pond separating me and Ashwood Nurseries because they'd break my bank. And YES...more nursery video tours, especially when those roses are in bloom - another 'weakness' of mine. Thanks for the garden tour! Until next time, many blessings! Cheers...

[@homegrowngarden]

Awwww thank you for such a lovely comment 🥰 I’m glad that there’s a fair distance between me and the nursery. It’s easy to spend way too much money there! 🤪

[@ross6343]

@@homegrowngarden AGREED about spending money at nurseries! I've become fairly disciplined...BUT...no so with roses and hellebores - the 'gotta haves' blinds me!😅😂🤣

[@graceferris3680]

Lovely garden! I would love to see more gardens in your area.

[@sarahdilley3918]

Thank you for bringing us along!! What a beautiful place, please show us Dave Austin's Rose's when you visit this spring!

[@owdpotter]

Any video that you are in with flowers is just fine by this old man :-)

[@jackiedixon2340]

So glad you enjoyed Ashwood it’s our local nursery,ok it’s not the cheapest place to buy plants but what you get is quality without a doubt,sometimes John opens up his private garden for a small donation to charity and well what can I say ,it’s just fantastic,spring,summer autumn &winter there is always something to see,we have been going there for many years & they have put their heart & soul into this place,as for David Austin roses they must be some of the best around we have some planted in the ground but about 2 years ago planted 2 into 2 separate pots,although quite big pots in the summer on our patio the sent is just fab,happy gardening let’s look forward to a good year on our allotments.

[@christinehowell]

I enjoyed joining you on your visit. It made me long to get out and visit more nurseries

[@andreajones7023]

I bought my favourite Hellebore and my Paper Bark Maple from there, both of which I had to leave in the UK when we moved to France. Lovely place.

[@VancouverIslandgirl]

Lovely thank you for taking us along, would love to see the roses later in the season.

[@susanjohnstone8185]

Yes, me too, love David Austin roses!!

[@Angela152half]

I absolutely enjoyed this nursery tour. To see the beautiful plants and their garden in general was outstanding.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Beautiful to see all the spring plantings, especially as I’m looking out my window to see a total blanket of snow. We will have a five to six weeks yet before we see any spring plantings. There are two types of shopping I love nursery gardens and quilting shops. Thanks for sharing your tour & shopping day. 👍❤️😊

[@misscliffgrows]

I'm very lucky to have Ashwoods as my local nursery. I think you take it for granted when it's right on your doorstep! Also been to David Austin a few times. It's so beautiful and well worth the visit. I think it's June that I've found it the best.

[@kestrelfeather]

What a grand nursery! All those beautiful blooms are a joy to see. Their hellebore collection is so good. I'm not really familiar with cultivated hellebore but I've seen wild hellebore, which grow very large, growing high up in the coast mountains in the far north of British Columbia. In that same region, right on the headwaters of the Yukon River which flows through the Yukon, into Alaska, finally flowing into the Bering Sea, there are forests of poplar trees (some conifers grow in those forests as well but the dominant trees are poplar and trembling aspen) where wild crocus bloom in May. That unique species of crocus has the deepest purple flower you can imagine with their bright yellow ring of showy anthers. Those Yukon crocus grow like a carpet through the forest which makes their spring arrival magnificent. Here in western Canada we are in for another bout with an Arctic front so this coming week the temp. may dip down to -20 C. in this mountain valley and much colder east of the Rocky Mountains, across the prairies and north. As well there is still a pile of snow on the ground so seeing all those gorgeous flowers and wonderful plants (trees and shrubs included) in the Ashwood nursery really puts a smile on my face. I've got a beautiful amaryllis blooming right now amongst all my house plants. This white amaryllis is quite unique (to me) as the flower is a double, something I've never seen before. There are three sturdy stems growing from the bulb with four flowers on each stem. Maybe in a month I'll be seeing my crocus and snowdrops blooming in my flower bed out front of my cabin. Thanks for the great tour! Cheers!

[@TuftyMcTavish]

🌸 Sounds like you were ambushed by some flower pots if things just happened to slip into your trolley! 😆 Plant haul episode would be fun too. Away Mission episodes are really great, especially for those of us that don’t travel around 🙋‍♂️ That place looked really superb though, and I can tell a lot of work went into putting this episode together. Awesome!

[@lynnfern2116]

What a beautiful, well maintained garden centre. They certainly deserve continued success. Coincidentally, I have just renewed my interest in hellebore after many years & have been absolutely awestruck at the wide variety now available as a result of dedicated hybridization work. When I last grew hellebore about 30 years ago, there were only three species plants which were readily available: H niger [white], H corsicus [green], & H orientalis [dark maroon]. In the last few days, I have ordered more than a dozen of the new varieties & a good selection of hardy ferns to incorporate into the large area of long neglected garden which we are currently in the process of reclaiming. Exciting times. Thank you for posting this video. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the new hellebore in flower. Paeony varieties have also burgeoning in the last 30 years or so. Maybe in early/mid summer, you might consider posting a similar video showing a selection of the paeonies which are now available. In addition to the herbaceous & tree paeonies, there is now a hybrid available which was originally developed in Japan. It is called an 'Itoh' paeony.

[@Marie-yx5ie]

That was lovely katrina, thank you, I enjoyed that 👍😉🇮🇪🍀

[@wildlifegardener-tracey6206]

Great to see you at my go to Nursery. Ashwoods is my favourite nursery it’s about half hour drive from me. Glad you had a warm welcome and a great shopping experience. 🌱🌺🌿🌾

[@stevebrighton42]

Thanks Katrina, I would definitely like to see more videos like this. Cheers, Steve.

[@stampinghippo7157]

What a great tour through a wonderful nursery. I am looking forward to seeing you tour the Austin Rosegarden in maybe early June. Thank you for taking us along, I´ve really enjoyed this! Best wishes, Hanni. P.S. I would have bought my heart out at the hellebores, especially the peachy one caught my eye.

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you for watching! I wish I could buy the peachy one but it was a display plant for the talk. Still in use for their breeding trails 😩

[@lesleykins7339]

My absolute favourite garden centre for over 30 years! Was there for breakfast yesterday and then stumbled on your video this morning. You did a fabulous job of filming and presenting this beautiful garden centre and I felt I was right there with you enjoying it’s glory - excellent work, well done!

[@amyjones2490]

Thanks for sharing. I love hellebores. I hope mine come back that I planted last year. We have such long cold winters here in s. Michigan.

[@rayandmarythomas4719]

Breathtaking! Loved the green with maroon freckles and that beautiful peachy colored one! Awesometour!

[@archiebrown3719]

Wow the billboards were beautiful definitely loved nurse your video also good to hear of good nursery in uk thank always enjoy your videos xx

[@lej5055]

This was a lovely video! Thank you for putting it together and I would absolutely love to see a tour of the David Austin nursery and any other nursery/gardens that you might visit. Those hellebores were absolutely stunning 😍 and I’m so envious. I live in Texas and I purchased one hellebore in desperate hope that it might possibly survive in my garden. I have throughly enjoyed watching all your videos. I’ve found them informative, enlightening and overall enjoyable, so thank you for your hard work in both your allotment gardening and video making.

[@carolynmarie4008]

What a gorgeous nursery! I can't wait until the snow melts and I can make a nursery trip. The hellebores are beautiful. I would love to have some in my garden but our winters are much too cold in Minnesota.

[@davidmills4643]

Hi its Tina thanks for taking us along, what a beautiful place

[@boumiboumi5052]

Hey! What great views. I love nurseries anyway. In the UK because of the great garden culture it is very special . I love to be shown around. There is such a huge knowledge of creating atmosphere with garden design! Yes show us more. What a good idea. Thanks!

[@genehaga7477]

These gardens are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.

I wish I could find more kinds of Hellebore in Belgium. Those peach coloured ones look amazing!

I feel your pain , i live in belgium as well. I didn`t even found a double flowering variety here 😢

Yes I am in Minnesota lokang at the same view I imagine. I am so envious of all the folks shopping and starting the garden while all I see is snow!

I am lucky enough to live about 20 minutes drive from Ashwoods and am always popping in infact the gap next to the tayberries was where i had my jostaberries from . David Austin roses is well worth a visit but wait until spring/summer when all the garden is in flower

[@patsyspatch4342]

Love Ashwood Nurseries, been a few times. Great tour, bought a female Holly there 2 weeks ago, Ilex aquifolium Argentea Marginata and a male Holly, Ilex Ferox Argentea last week. Managed to get them in the ground before Storm Eunice hit Worcestershire a few days ago. Both still standing.

[@barbsussex3865]

Wow, looks a fantastic nursery. Thanks for your tour round. It's hard to keep control of spending when there are so many fantastic plants, shrubs and trees to buy. Lots of willpower required, eh! 🙂

[@Whistlewalk]

Wonderful video. Hellebores are one of my favourite late winter/early spring plants as well. And the nursery is gorgeous. Thank you.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Real nice nursery!!!!!!!!! Here in central Texas we have a few huge Texas size living nurseries with demonstration gardens and we enjoy visiting. Our plants are much different due to the hot weather we have. We are planning a visit to the Cotswolds later this fall for 3 weeks and we are very excited about visiting the UK again.

[@PDogB]

Yes, would love to see more nursery visits. Also if possible, your house plant collection! Thanks for sharing your visit!

Katrina, a very interesting Ashwood Nuseruies Hellebore blooms Tour and other plants videoclip! I was very surprised what for sort of Hellebore blooms!!

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

Thank you for taking us along on your beautiful day! I was blown away by how similar that nursery is to my favorite nursery smack in the middle of the USA! I just went last week, now I want to go right back. Looking forward to seeing the "haul". Generally I find "haul" videos extrememly annoying but not when it is a haul of nursery plants!

[@harriettejensen479]

What an amazing nursery! So many unique plants. Of all of them, though, I loved the peach hellebore that you showed and the all green one in the bowl of hellebores. I loved touring the nursery. Too bad I live on the other side of the pond.

[@bluumz-n-veg]

Hello, Katrina, thanks so much for this peek into a lovely nursery! Here in the US, we don't have allotments but I'm hoping to turn an area in my backyard into something similar. I understand that St. Ann's is quite a historic place... I'd love to see a walk around and hope you consider doing such a video! :-)

[@homegrowngarden]

Yes! Absolutely I really want to do a st Ann’s tour some time.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hello love, What a fantastic video and tour. Thank you for taking the time to film at a place I am sure you have really wanted to see for yourself. I loved the video and honestly you looked radiant in your element and so happy. I can imagine them telling you we are closed you can come back tomorrow lol. I would love to see more of these esp as I am in the US and it is nice to see things from another perspective. God bless take care bye for now

[@Tarot_Time_with_Belle]

Loved this calm relaxing tour. Thankyou. Always wanted to go but I’m in SE England so a little far for me. For more. I really appreciated the much less formal approach as many gardening videos now are very focused on growing business partnerships and they cross the line towards sounding like a formal advert and for me, that makes me switch off. Laura from garden answer does this natural tour approach, even if she’s affiliated and I can see why she gets so v many views. Whereas ‘dig plant repeat’ Janey, although lovely, her channel has become much more focused on partnerships and formality. I find I’m enjoying less and turning off more. I appreciate her hard work and grabbing opportunities but Laura has a much less over excited approach and for me, that really makes watching enjoyable. Her genuine character comes across and it doesn’t seem forced. All this to say, you remind me of Laura and I hope your channel grows the same way and you continue to put viewers enjoyment above ads as you become more popular. Thank you for being you and all the best for a happy prosperous new year
