In 1997, Gael and Francesco Boglione 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.


The growth and success of Petersham Nurseries in recent years can be attributed to the ideas and determination of eldest daughter, Lara Boglione.
Taking the reins in 2011 as Managing Director, Lara has seamlessly woven her personal vision in strengthening the company’s philosophy and has been the driving force behind the development of the company.
As a team we are always looking for ways to reduce our footprint, protect the environment and give back to the communities we work with.
