We'd drive there too, but that wouldn't be much good for anyone who lives any distance away from us!

I would be happy to drive my van too, so that's another 4 passengers and accompanying shrubbery
Soniks Petersham Report
So i went to Petersham on Saturday (you'll certainly need a car) not only because i think only one bus goes there but you'll spend, spend, spend.
This is the view as you walk down the lane to the Nurseries, nice!
The layout is really nice - two large greenhouses with one full of antique garden furniture (to buy) surrounded by plants etc. Some nice old tomato boxes caught my eye already planted for you!!!! £35
The other larger greenhouse (see photo) houses the very pricey restaurant (that was packed and the food looked amazing) and then the seeds/accessories/books section all very nicely laid out. I like a nicely laid out shop. See Colette in Paris.
There's loads of stuff out side and a nice fountain with seating that would be really nice in the summer.
If you are driving keep a careful look out for the sign it's tiny and easy to miss until you are right on top of it.
The pub next door looks nice but is horrible. The second you walk in the door they are on you like a pack of wolves asking if you want food or just a drink, that is NOT a pub.
Petersham Nurseries = FIVE STARS

I'm going to have to go after I get paid Sorry to dredge this old thread back up but here's an interesting article from Saturday August 20th "I finished with strawberries and a ginger pudding, which was historic."
