I always relish the chance to visit Petersham Nurseries for lunch. Yesterday, a friend and I drove a route that takes us across Richmond Park and down by the Thames river. It was a beautiful day and everything looked so wonderful that I got a bit trigger happy with my camera! Some of the deer were resting right beside the road. I thought I'd share all the photos with you.

We stopped by the Thames at the foot of the hill in Richmond

These lead down to the river

The first thing we did when we arrived a Petersham Nurseries was have lunch — you take your tray of food into one of the glasshouses or sit outside. There were two robins in the glasshouse where we ate and they were very tame (see photo below)

I love the colours of these metal tables and chairs

After lunch, we took a wander around the plants outside

And of course no visit to Petersham Nurseries is complete without a wander around the shop which is in the same glasshouse as the Michelin star restaurant. I love the way they display the plants and other items for sale

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.

Petersham Nurseries - a source of inspiration

Petersham Nurseries is one of those places that is good for the soul. It is all about beauty and style, both outside and inside. I'm there at least three times a month and have rarely left there empty handed!

It's a half hour drive from my home which takes me across Richmond Park, another place that is good for the soul. It's hard to believe that you are in a big city when you are in the middle of the park surrounded by trees, bracken and deer.

s many of you know, I love Petersham Nurseries and am a frequent visitor. It's described on their website as "Internationally prized garden centre, Petersham Nurseries is a tranquil oasis
and seedbed of inspiration" and that about sums it up. The highlight is always the shop which is in one of the glasshouses. The styling of the furniture, accessories, plants & flowers is superb and I find it a real inspiration. I love to wander around admiring and of course buying one or two things as it's very difficult to leave empty handed!
