What to expect at Petersham Nurseries, Covent Garden

The Boglione family knows a thing or two about unearthing the beauty in the ordinary. They moved into their Richmond home in 1997, and after discovering it overlooked a local plant nursery, they knew they’d stumbled upon something special. At the first opportunity, they restored the nursery, opening it to the public in 2004 to share their love of art, nature and food with its visitors. Now, they’ve got two destinations, the second a slow-living retreat in the centre of bustling Covent Garden. And you can expect plenty of flora, lots of light wood, and rustic, muted tones at every turn. A wholesome, nourishing space.
