Ewell Horticultural Association

Ewell Horticultural Association (EHA) has been supporting and serving the local community of Ewell and the surrounding areas since 1865, offering Residents encouragement and companionship in the enjoyment of their gardens. EHA has over 1,300 members and is thought to be amongst the oldest and largest Horticultural Associations in England. The Association is run by a friendly Committee of local people who welcome both members and non-members to our 3 annual Shows.  We would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to join us and become involved in the Association especially helping at the Shows.

About Us

EHA is a non-profit making community based organisation run by volunteers for the benefit of its members. New members are always welcome; membership is open to all from £2 per annum. Members are encouraged to participate in the 2 annual Shows by exhibiting their own produce of flowers, fruit and vegetables plus crafts & design and photographs. Our next showt will be held on 21st September at 

St Paul’s Church Centre
15 Northey Avenue
Cheam, Surrey
SM2 7HS

The prizes will be presented by Helen Maguire the newly elected MP for Epsom & Ewell.

To encourage new exhibitors we have 2 new groups of classes restricted as follows :

-   classes 12 to 19 are limited to those who have not previously entered any dahlia class at our shows.

-   classes 98 to 103 are limited to those who have not previously entered any vegetable class at our shows.

Class details are of course given in the EHA Handbook.

There is adequate car parking at and around the church. Please note that although it is close to Sutton, the church is within the Borough of Epsom and Ewell and is NOT within the ULEZ area.

Everyone who has attended our Shows has seen the stunning floral arrangements and almost certainly enjoyed the refreshments and delicious homemade cakes.

Our AGM is held in March. The minutes of the 2023 AGM were approved in 2024 and can downloaded here . The draft minutes of the 2024 AGM can be downloaded here.
