They too have a cafe. All organic- and the menu changes every week. On the menu this week is 'Grilled Trevis and Violetta Aubergines with Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Tomato and Olive Crush.' See what Meg means about getting lost in the language? Where else would grilled lettuce, eggplant and broccoli with relish sound so languidly luscious?


Petersham is also incredibly eco responsible. None of their plants purchased go home in plastic containers, they all are sent in coir (the husk of coconut) pots- which you just sink into the ground with the plant, completely bio-degradable. The nursery also encourages/discourages public transportation over driving. They give bike & bus routes in addition to the Hammertons Ferry schedule where you can ferry (first dog is free, second dog only 10p!) across the Thames and stroll into the gardens. Chicago's chill is feeling further away already, isn't it?

I'm not sure if its the 'cheese covers' the enormous bird house or the beautiful ferns in their wooded pots that I love the most about this picture. There are just too too many images of this beautiful place. Click here for more, brew yourself a cuppa and feast your eyes...I'm sure your spirit will be warmed- if not your toes.
