The Women of Petersham Nurseries | House & Garden

- In 1997, Gael Boglione and her husband Francesco moved their young family from central London to Richmond. Their new home, Petersham House, overlooked a local plant nursery, which had been carved out of the grounds of their Queen Anne home in the 1970s. In 2004, after extensive restoration works, the nursery re-opened, completely transformed. Furniture, gifts and antiques were found amongst the plants which adorned the greenhouses, and in the most elegant wooden teahouse. Over the years the family have steadily nurtured the space in to a beloved lifestyle destination, reflective of their values, love of food and personal collections within their home. Now Petersham’s next generation are stepping forward, forging a future for the nurseries with Petersham offshoots including a new base in Covent Garden. In this film we speak with the women of Petersham, Gael, her eldest daughter Lara, and her youngest daughter Ruby.

It’s striking how confident rich people are, so self assured. I laughed when the mother said that when she decided to open a restaurant, she hired 20 people, bought a few pots and pans and burners.....and hey presto! It all seems so easy.
I did wonder how the balance sheet works out. Videos like this and people like this perpetrate the "do what you love" lie.
along the lines of my thoughts / reaction to this, too. that nobody, but NOBODY, does privilege like the british.
Yes, it's quite appaling. Especially if you go on Glassdoor and check their former employees reviews. 20% would recommend it to their friends. Most reviews are 1 star out of five! There are also very negative opinions about MD Laura Boglione herself. I used to shop in their Covent Garden stunning shop and was always surprised, that every time I go there there are new Sales Advisors serving me. Went to check the website then and Indeed to see what people from inside are saying about this company. I was so shocked that I just stopped visiting and spending my money in this place to make owners rich and their workers miserable.
@@andrzejtk that’s very interesting to know. I suppose if you can just casually hire “20 people”, you can just as casually, let them go.
@@jraaccounts they’re Italian though...
Lots of jealous people making critical comments. Get a life. These people have been successful in theirs and run a fabulous garden centre and cafe. I suspect they aren’t doing it for the money, but they’re happy to share it with us. We are fortunate that they do so.
I am cracking up at the idea that Richmond is 'out in the country' ffs lmao
😂😂😂 out in the highlands...
@@outtour7518 The bigger the property the less suburban it feels. The sound of the traffic gets further and further..... but it was relative for them as a family.... Anything was going to feel like being out in the country.
People will say whatever to spice things up. Lol
The parents have that insanely fabulous combination of upper-crust Anglo-Italian style that is the perfect blend of old and new money, classical and contemporary, historic yet fashionista, formal while effortlessly carelessly casual, severely pared back yet when it occasionally rips is full blown and extravagant. I laughed when she said ‘we’re moving to the country’, Richmond IS like an 18th century county town, but it’s on the Tube, rammed into London, every second home is a rock star’s palace or a movie director’s lair. I’ve been to Petersham Nurseries, it was beyond ludicrously overpriced, the service was diabolical and we were coolly turned away from the dining/tea places except for coffee, as it’s booked up months in advance. But I still loved it. Their house is to die for, it’s like if Merchant Ivory characters lived today, this would be it.
Tom I want to have a 3 hour lunch with you! What a fiery, nuanced comment! I'm trying to figure out if you speak really fast in real life or if you smoke a pipe and would take 10 minutes to say the above. Love it! :)
If its how Merchant Ivory characters would live today, they are living in my house (which I had surmised already by looking at it). 😉
The most interesting and intellectual observation
I think the architecture of the house is gorgeous, but interiors-wise it's missing warmth and personality, especially compared to the kinds of eccentric and colourful houses usually featured on this channel which are so emblematic of British design. The sheer amount of empty space in the rooms, and the expanses of bare floor, are striking and a little unsettling to me (made worse, I suppose, by the darkness and cold colour palette). But I suppose that in London, having such a huge amount of empty space is THE status symbol.
@@user-ed7et3pb4o I left a very similar observation in another comment reply thread here. I love finding people I share something in common with on this level.
I am so happy to see these homes, gardens and lifestyles keep going. The past should be alive in the present. Just delightful. ❤️
So beautiful, it hurts.
My all time favourite interior
Every second of this was pure beauty! I'd love to sit in that space and paint!
Would love to see another episode of Petersham but focusing more on the interior and the artworks, especially the paintings and other wall hangings. Wonderful and inspirational.
Yes, that sounds wonderful! And still mention the Nurseries..... I think it is full of personality. If you had a Ferrari in the family for a good many years the conversation around it would be laissez-faire.
Yes that would be lovely for me anyway.... but please take into kind consideration the select few who are vomiting onto their screens at the thoughts of more comfortably rich, confident, commentary from 'rural Richmond', sigh......
@@josephforsuh6929 Hi Joseph! I bump into you all over the place, you social butterfly you! 😊👋
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 ;)
What a gorgeous, dreamy and peaceful place. I wish I lived there.
Wish the camera would rest one point longer than 1 seconds 🙄
It is annoying specially when I want to focus on one place , impossible!
Yes agreed. I paused several times so I could see!
Moving toooo fast!
Right?! 🤦🏻♀️ I had to take screenshots so I could go back to see once the video is done.
I aggree, can't watch , shame
The snarky comments about the family being are so strange. It’s a beautiful property and they seem like a close and loving family. I admire that. Who cares if they are rich and out of touch. Within their bubble they’re good and they don’t seem like jerks. Kudos.
Richmond; that's more accessible than i thought. I love the way the mother talks about the provenance of things, i'm a bit like that. Those vases on the table are wonderful. The red one gives such a divine light. I love the way they talk about their father's influence too.
Family businesses are often extra special because of that personal touch.... The layering of the personalities of the family members is 'unseen' everywhere in this footage. It it simply adds richness; just like melted butter to cake mixture.
Petersham Nurseries just never fails, It's inspirational and the open garden day which I hope will happen again?, I just love . Nice to see the inside of the house. just the openness with the dining table and that chandelier a dream really!
I can't get enough of this family their home garden flowers . The whole decorating and life style is lovely! 💖
That space is so gorgeous! I don’t have that wealth but it’s so cool to get inspired and plan to create my tiny scale garden/decor in the years to come
I love your comment.
Perhaps you do have wealth, just in other forms.
Absolutely incredible place.
Absolutely fucking incredible place
Absolutely ABSOLUTELY fucking incredible place!
Just stunning! They have put this all together beautifully.
That chandelier is amazing.
I love the nursery, the house the entire family. I watched this video everyday . I make believe that's live there. Thank you .💗
.
Absolutely lovely! Like an impossible dream for me.
This is the most beautiful, magical place I've ever seen. Out of this world.
Loved this video! And I can not wait to visit. It's on my London list and has been for several years.....It amazes me how many people are complaining and seem very bitter that they are rich. What in the world is wrong with being rich??? Whatever is said, this family works very hard and I love how they work together as a family. Good for them and blessings!!!
Its not the wealth that is the issue, it's the lack of self-awareness and elitist views of it all. King Soloman was rich and everyone loved him, as well as God. A wealthy person is given great power and privilege which comes with responsibilities, and one of those responsibilities is to not become a snob, self-promoting or materialistic. If some of the wealth is used to create jobs and things of beauty, that's fine, as long as the credit is given to those that actually did the work.
I think they're mostly snarky, or bemused...more than complaining.
Such beautiful surroundings, 99.9% of us could only dream of living somewhere like that !
...which is why I appreciate that they shared a little of it with us. It makes me want to work hard.
@@maxdominate2481 Good luck with that !
@@FiggysMeemaw - Dreams are meant to come true.
What a delight. To make your life a piece of art, which is what they have done. Would love to see more of the house.
what a lovely place
I am in Saudi Arabia and I wish you a happy life 😘
Wow, just wow. Loved this family and this place. Absolutely Gorgeous inside house and out! Definitely on my list now when I visit the UK . I bet the food is amazing.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! A Wow.
Quel magnifique endroit. Un ravissement pour les yeux. J'espère venir le voir un jour. 🌷🎀
I just love how she casually mentions the vintage ferrari and then I realized, oh yeah of course they are rich
You didn't notice before that point?
@@apebass2215 I honestly thought maybe they just bought some old house, years later the neighbouring property and started a business that went well... I was thinking oh yeah I could probably do that too someday, but no I can't they are just rich
@@misterosc lol
She's simply speaking the language she knows..you can't relate, obviously, so why the negative comments about the fact that she has a Ferrari and its mentioned so lasaifair??!-Im so over people like you ,saying crap about people like this amazing woman,and myself that live a more comfortable life than most, yet you all aspire to be us
@@greyclouds2069 we definitely do not aspire to be like you at all. Most of us simply want to be able to live in a world in which wealth is equally distributed and workers are paid fairly. Only then can the average person hope to pursue their passions/creative projects.
So beautiful place! Every single detail are lovely!! Specially the garden and decorations on the house ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 dream home for ever
If I could describe my personality in a house this house is it. It embodies, whimsy, Grace, Beauty, Comfort, dreams, freedom, elegance..... it’s like floating in air when you see it!! I This gem is on my bucket list.
Insane gorgeous!! I could watch this over & over…
Super Laden, interessante Objekte, Bravo!
An amazing place showcasing the beautiful gardens with the amazing place to eat food from your kitchens and pieces in the gallery beyond compare..well done..so much hard work for others to share..🌳⭐🌲
Absolutely lovely! Thank you so much for making & sharing this lovely video! 👍🏻👍🏻
you are very blessed! I love that your family is really close.
Such a tranquil lovely place!
Just simply beautiful! The building, grounds and what you have done🥂
Stunningly beautiful setup there.....
Such beautiful spaces.
Que belleza de lugar, como quisiera visitar!🙌algún día será.Many thanks for let us in and the inspiration.💚🪴👏
The indian pics look so awesome in that rustic space! Love it, goes esp well with the organic food!
A beautiful and unique family collaboration!
So beautiful...magnificent!
Beautiful!
They seem so effortless with what they've attained. What a beautiful house!
Ah, yes, the idle rich. They paid a lot of money to a lot of people so that their lives would appear effortless. ;o)
They seem like they’ve worked extremely hard to me.
What a delightful life in such beautiful surroundings. If ever lockdown (I live in Melbourne, Australia) is done with and we can travel again ,I would put this glorious place on my list when in England.
Hello fellow Melbournian
If you go to Japan at any point, make sure to check out the surprising home of Mariko Gonda-- she opens her garden up to the public and for a small entry fee you also get to enjoy a cup of tea in her rose garden. Her garden is not what you'd imagine to see an hour's drive north of Tokyo, that's for sure. A little hidden gem if you ever get to Japan and want to see what artists and inspired eccentric folks are doing outside of traditional landscaping and crafts. There's also a florist in the area called Hiroo that has a treehouse cafe...right in central Tokyo! I hope so sincerely that Covid doesn't entirely crush the entrepreneurial spirit of independent business owners around the world, and frighten or put off artists from wanting to take a risk in creating their pop-up shops and other artistic expressions which aim to delight with their one of a kind, highly idiosyncratic mix of magic and commerce. There's only so much online living human beings want to do, y'know what I mean? I miss all of this beauty and inspiration, being able to wander about the 3-D world of other people's vision and passions... :)
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 thank you for this post, love the idea of Gardens in unexpected places. Do you really live in a periwinkle blue caravan?
@@juliehock6059 If you ever get to England visit my channel and let me know; I'll write you out THE MOST EPIC travel itinerary if you love art, romantic gardens, historic properties, bookshops etc. xo Right now, I am not in a periwinkle blue space-caravan-- it's zooming above us in the night sky, not due to land for another millennia. ;)
That was really nice. I know how hard you work. We have a big place with lots of animals and children, but doing a restaurant is really intense. Congrats on all the beauty!
What a place!!!
I love their shop in Covent Garden.
It closed down recently :(
Absolutely wonderful ❤️
How special is this family.....Special...would love to see and hear more about them. To hear the children talk about each other and their home is ....the only thing I can come up with is "Special". What a blessed life ✨
"Rich" would be another word for it.
Stunning space and garden ❤
Beautiful....
Such a delightful family with exquisite taste
WOW! I love her house and garden! *_*
Loved that, I want to go there now! 😍
Lovely way of life.
Love the vibes, it is like living in a painting 😍
Heavenly !!!!!
Well. This was an enjoyable watch.
wow...I'm speechless
Woo beautiful house and garden to . I love the restaurant , and garden sou classic cozy an gorgeous that is nice place to go set an eat . I love .
Magical ✨
Gorgeous 💓
Completely enchanting!! I would love to have a place like that to go to!!
The mother. Listen how she talks about herself, her choices. She's so self-assured and has a way of self-promoting whilst lecturing us on not being vulgar. lol
So beautiful ✨
Oh....if I had all the money these women have....I would have that too and 20 staff to tell what to do....but beautiful. It is a mix of shabby and new......and the grounds and home are to die for.
Intriguing!
so lovely
Lovely watching you from Montana
Totally Delicious video!❤️
Nice arrangements of colors
Bellissima grazie
Fantastic !
You don’t have to be rich to be assured to be confident. Understand the difference is exposure where they grew up, what the influence was. They have access to all the contacts the riches the best of the best. Constantly being surrounded by people who are major influencers in the world. Even travelling the world gives one so many creative ideas. Many are in the business of creating and meet other creators.
So special! I am so sad they’ve closed their Covent Garden shop though!
i was wondering if that was permanently closed?
@@melanieemertaylor yeah they're keeping the restaurants open but not the shop
@@jessicat9198 ooooh sad times! it was so cute
Wow!
Lovely
Heaven on earth for me!💖❤️💐🍀🌸🏵️🌼☀️🌺
Love from Marseilles☀️☀️☀️
It is WONDERFUL! I have got no other words. It is a dream! 😘
Amazing she call the house tranquil but all one see is emptiness
That is the inside of your cranium. Open your eyes and you'll see what everyone else sees.
@@maxdominate2481 You right how did I see the emptiness if my eyes is close???.
This Max guy seems to have a rude comment for everyone. The epitome of a troll. Have a glance at other people's answers. It's always the ones with nothing on their accounts. Shallow waters. lol
love love love
Absolutely incredible !!!
Gosh all the jealous people on here. These women have created incredible beauty and a successful business, employing many people. How much have all you jealous people created for this world?
Wow
Castello Fonterutoli - USD 405 per bottle, at least. I wonder why the bottle is shown in a close-up - product placement? 😼
Divine! ✨
To be able to visit this nursery, I would contemplate moving across the pond! Those peonies at 1:53...
This is cool
Dream home
It’s like a slice of fairytale
Qué elegante
The priceless stolen relics of ancient India is just the right touch. Looks beautiful hanging over where the pup takes his poo.
Nothing was stolen. India love to sell its artifacts and yoga pants.
@@maxdominate2481 Nope. During British Colonialism many things were taken and later sold, among other injustices.
@@naylak5718 - Right, but these people made purchases in India and other sub-continent countries from people who actually live there currently within the last fifteen years. Were you listening?
Remember colonialism doesn't explain the current poor conditions of your life; rather, your life choices do. Also, don't be jealous.
Max your really are a pompous prat
@@lynneconnolly5071 - Why, because I corrected a mis-statement? Nayla was wrong. These people did business with locals and bought the relics. Nothing was stolen.
Wouid so love to know the flower in 1:54 near the lower part of the frame. So lovely. Is it a peony? I’ve never seen one with a middle part like that. Such a beautiful video!
My dream is in my oldest years I wish live in Country side I love cottage homes simply living
I'd love to be rich.
❤️❤️❤️
