Petersham Nurseries
About Petersham Nurseries Petersham Nurseries, a local garden centre, was carved out of the Petersham House grounds in the 1970s. Shortly before the turn of the century, the business was bought by Gael and Francesco Boglione who have, with their family, lived in the adjoining Petersham House in Richmond since 1997. After extensive restoration works, the nurseries reopened in 2004, completely transformed. Today visitors are invited to dine in the greenhouse restaurant (Petersham Nurseries Café), browse plants in the Nursery, find antiques and gifts in the Shop, or sit, wander and enjoy seasonal food and homemade cakes in the Teahouse. In April 2018, the team opened Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden, which captures the unique spirit and rare beauty of its original home in Richmond and brings nature and elegance to the heart of central London. Comprising of The Petersham, La Goccia, La Goccia Bar, A Delicatessen and Wine Cellar - that provides an unparalleled lifestyle destination. Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden occupies 16,000 sq.ft, including a central courtyard, Floral Court. True to the horticultural origins of the family business and the heritage of Covent Garden’s past, there could not be a more fitting location for this venture into central London. Whilst maintaining their passion for simplicity, flora, and responsibly sourced produce, Petersham Nurseries have created an unrivalled setting within this urban environment.
