It’s raining and grey here in our garden today and there’s not much looking really good in these conditions. Besides I’d rather stay warm and dry inside than take photos outdoors in this downpour! So for a change I thought that you might like to see some of the pictures I took at Petersham Nurseries last week. Now that was Looking Good!
Plants and products for sale are arranged in a most attractive and characterful way with huge antique mirrors, chandeliers, distressed tables, wardrobes and cupboards. Everything is for sale. There’s a cafe and restaurant on site and they are also arranged in the same style with flowers on the tables and quirky settings.
It’s certainly one of the most interesting plant nurseries that we’ve been to with both indoor and outdoor plants beautifully arranged.
So if you are planning a trip to London… Petersham is in the Richmond area and it’s well worth a short detour. Here’s the full address and postcode.
Petersham Nurseries
Church Lane (signed posted ‘St Peter’s Church’)
Off Petersham Road
Richmond, Surrey, TW10 7AB
You may also wish to have a look at the Petersham Nurseries Gallery which has gorgeous pictures taken in all seasons. If you can’t make the trip to the nursery they have a shop on their website too.
What’s looking good in your garden or neighbourhood this week?
Happy Gardening! Gillian 🙂
What fun their buyer must have!
Yes Eliza. I imagine trips abroad are necessary to source all these amazing items.
Oh Gillian I could spend weeks in there! Is that place magical or what? I hope I win the lottery because I know where I would spend the money! A cottage and a garden in the UK! Do you get to that nursery on a regular basis? It looks huge! I liked the wagon display and the planter that looks like it is on bicycle wheels In the summer area online. And all those beautiful pots!!!!
Yes it is magical Cady. It doesn’t seem huge on site…quite intimate and welcoming in fact. I think it’s well planned and interesting with distinct areas for the shop, plant displays, cutting garden and cafe. We don’t visit very often because we are hundreds of miles north of Petersham but when we do venture down south it’s on our list!
Oh I may try to stop by there in June! I will have to look on the map and see my route to St Ives! I can’t remember which road I am taking there! Haven’t started my in depth planning yet!
Good for you! Definitely worth a little detour.
Thanks very much for joining in with Looking Good today!
That is indeed a good looking nursery! I love that they sell very special garden furniture as well. I wish I was closer to London so I could shop there! I wrote a short post about what is looking good in my garden yesterday, too. Here is the link: https://mariemathilda.wordpress.com/2016/04/01/looking-good-in-the-garden-my-hydrangea/ Happy Gardening
What a ball you must have had. I love those chandliers. Did you buy anything?
Yes we did Allison. Only small items as car boot already cram jam full!
That looks like a gorgeous nursery. I’d almost feel the need to dress up for a garden party to go shopping! Beautiful pictures, too.
I should always shop with no space in the car; that might keep me under control a bit.
It is a gorgeous nursery! I’m glad you enjoyed my blog post Leah.
What an interesting nursery and shop! It looks like it would take a long time to browse all the interesting items.
Yes…it’s an amazing place.
It’s nice to see the nursery at different times of the year..love the vibrant colours of plants.in your blog
