My favourite place in London is Petersham Nurseries. It is beautiful, inspirational and a peaceful oasis.
After my dentist appointment today, I stopped at Petersham and couldn't resist taking some photos to share with you. I always leave Petersham with lots of ideas of how to use flowers and plants as part of an interior design. And of course I am always inspired to plant my three square feet of outdoor space so I bought a few plants as well as a bunch of the most unusual colour hyacinths. They are incredible, especially the vivid blue ones. Enjoy!
These are the water meadows opposite the entrance to Petersham Nurseries
One of the glasshouses where you can sit and have coffee and the most divine cakes or lunch from the cafe.
The next photos are taken in the shop which is in the same glasshouse as the Michelin star restaurant. The floor is earth, in the restaurant also.
I love this corner of the shop - the furniture, the mauve wall colour and the branches of blossom. Divine
And here are my purchases. All blue and mauve plants - my favourite coloured flowers.
Check out these incredible coloured hyacinths. They will be stunning once they are in flower. And my French coffee mugs!

This post is for all you garden lovers. If you are lucky enough to live in London you have the chance to see the gardens of Petersham House, the home of the owners of Petersham Nurseries, Gael and Francesco Boglione. Their home is adjacent to the Nurseries and is a stunning Georgian house with extensive gardens, swimming pool and tennis court. They have a substantial vegetable garden which is used for the restaurant in the Nurseries.
