Ashton's Garden Centre Tatamagouche Ashton's Garden Centre opened in May 2021 & continues to grow every year.

As we enter our 6th year, our business has gone from 1 greenhouse selling summer bedding plants, to 2 greenhouses and a full range of shrubs, trees, perennials and a lot more!

WARNING - ANOTHER GREAT OFFER FROM ASHTON'S

Japanese flowering cherry are one of the most sought after trees and shrubs - every year many customers ask for them but they are often only available in tree form and often at high prices that start at $150 upwards.

This year we have managed to secure some smaller 3 gallon pots at the bargain price of $39.99 (Yes you did read that correctly!)

Lovers of full sun and drought tolerant once established these make stunning bushes for your garden, and for those of you adventurous enough, they can be pruned to eventually grow into a tree. They make for beautiful cut flowers and produce the best flowers in full sun. It is worth noting that while these are not classed as deer resistant they are usually left alone for other plants (they have never touched it in my garden!) - however if you reside in Truro I wouldn't recommend these unless your garden is secure.

Reaching heights of up to 12 feet, they grow at a rate of 1-2 feet per year - however the first year after planting most activity takes place underground as the root system establishes.

To secure one of these prunus send us a message with your email and contact number or leave a comment below and we will get back to.

WARNING - INCREDIBLE PLANT OFFER!!!

Every year it is a pleasure to offer plants well below the industry retail price, and creeping thyme is by far the most popular - We usually sell red creeping thyme but have been fortunate enough to get hold of some purple creeping thyme this year - normal retail prices vary between $9.99 AND $12.99 per plant. But we have these available at the stunningly low price of $5 per plant with a minimum order of 5 plants - $25

Creeping thyme is a low growing mat forming perennial that flowers for a long period from spring into summer. It has purplish to rose coloured flowers and is ideal for some of those hard to plant spaces - it will love those gravelly spots around the edge of your house, between paving stone, or even along your driveway! In many European countries creeping thyme is beginning to replace lawns - why? Because it is drought tolerant and will keep its colour throughout a hot summer. They surpress weeds and spread rapidly, from a tiny 3" pot they can easily cover a square foot in 1 season often more.

If you would like to place an order (5 plants minimum) send us a message including your email and contact number, or alternatively leave us a message below and let us get back to you!

Please note that these will be ready for collection in spring at the Garden Centre.

Find us at 125 Upper River John Road, Tatamagouche.

OMG! This stunning perennial Hibiscus is flowering right now in my garden, and other than a few black eyed Susan's there isn't much else to shout about. So if your garden is lacking colour and you want to brighten it up for September colour this could be for you!

Please be aware these arrive in Spring and take a good month of greenhouse growing to get them ready. With this in mind and very limited space in my greenhouse we only have space for growing 40 of them. These will be ready for collection end of May to early June.

Send me a message DM with your email and contact number to reserve yours. Or leave a comment and we'll be in touch.

SOLD OUT SOLD OUT SOLD OUT

I am completely sold out of these peonies - If you would like one please message directly and we will put you on the wait list ###

Fernleaf Peony are rare and very expensive. I have been watching them for the past 6 years because several staff members have asked for them but at the usual retail price of $80 a plant and often higher - none of us were desperate enough to order them in. But that has changed!

As showy and hardy as the poenies you will know of, and just as deer resistant - we are able to order these in at $39.99 each - This could be your only chance to grab one before the price flies high again next year, and we are very limited on available stock.

If you would like one - leave us a comment or send us a message.

It's been another fabulous season at Ashton's Garden Centre, and none of it would be possible without our customers - A big thank you to all of you and a big thank you to our team!

Next year you will notice a few new introductions!!!!!

We are putting in a pick your own peonies next spring - the actual picking of the peonies will be the following year, as they need to establish in the first year - but you can come and get some amazing pics of you amongst them when they flower - watch this space.

We are adding 8 new beds at the front of the Garden Centre that will be loaded with daffodils - and not just the yellow ones - yes you guessed it a daffodil you pick is coming soon! (after we plant 10,000 bulbs this fall!!!)

Our orchard has been planted with the first 10 varieties of apple tree - and once established we plan on having some apple related events towards the later part of Summer. We also want to see how the trees perform so that we can advise you on what grows best in our area.

So a Great Big Thank you to you all, we shall see you in 2027!
