We are a traditional plant nursery and garden centre in the West Midlands, situated in a canal-side setting in lovely open countryside.
Many gardeners come here for the day and don’t want to leave! You can find inspiration in our beautifully maintained plant sales areas and glasshouses, wander through the garden shop and, if you need some friendly advice, the experienced Ashwood team are on hand to help. There’s a rather special gift shop and a delightful tea room overlooking attractive landscaped gardens. Everything, in fact, to make a perfect day out!
Plants are our passion and we offer one of the finest selections in the UK.
Ashwood’s speciality plants have won international acclaim and our award-winning hellebores are regarded as ‘simply the best’ strains ever produced.
But the story doesn’t end there… our plant breeders and growers have worked the same magic on hepaticas, hardy cyclamen, hydrangeas, conifers, snowdrops, lewisias, salvias, and Primula auricula.
‘John’s Garden’ at Ashwood Nurseries is a wonderful eight acre private garden created by nursery owner and Chelsea Gold medallist John Massey VMH. Informal borders, island beds, woodland dells and a wildlife garden are set against the beautiful backdrop of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal.
Regarded as one of the finest private gardens in the UK, there are magnificent collections of trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials and conifers adding to the interest all year round with an abundance of rare plants as well as familiar favourites.
Its many fine features include a stunning pool and rock garden planted with choice alpines and miniature bulbs, an Anemone pavonina meadow, a rare tufa garden and a dramatic fern stumpery. The ruin garden and Christopher Lloyd border put the spotlight on some inspirational seasonal planting.
Throughout the garden, urns and patio pots are imaginatively planted.
‘Adam’s Garden’ is an area within John’s Garden dedicated to the memory of John’s former head gardener Adam Greathead who died aged 27 in 2017. This tranquil space is home to specimen trees selected for Autumn colour, rare conifers, island beds planted for spectacular Summer colour, a delightful Mediterranean border and a a fine collection of named snowdrops.
John’s Garden has been featured on TV as well as in numerous articles in the national and gardening press, and has been described by Carol Klein as ‘the most loved and looked after garden I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting’.
