This got me curious and I read a bit about it online, but then today I pick up one of the old issues of 'Design Today' magazine from my table, and what do I see <a href="http://www.petershamnurseries.com/home.asp">'Petersham Nurseries'</a> again. So taking a cue, here I am posting about this breathtakingly beautiful nursery which is an antique store and also a cafe. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177919865521912562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4HRJacrmc2jATF5q-5HPegeCVybLHn0mGk8YEZ5tCnJrAKG6-P7N-SfOrz3MMlQrzfC0GOvT0OSm8qOkDvawXbKoiEcIU2MXwJTZiNta2IRX20unv-Qnf6OnALA8_aftuGaMN7ZyS-XCr/s400/peter13.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /> Francesco and Gael Boglione the owners of <a href="http://www.petershamnurseries.com/home.asp">Petersham Nurseries</a> in West London have travelled extensively around the world and to India.
