Restaurants in plant nurseries


Eating at garden centres is becoming increasingly popular. I have had the most wonderful meals in nurseries around the world.

Sometimes it is just a burger bar and sandwiches and sometimes it is a full blown restaurant.  It you haven't tried eating at a nursery, I recommend it and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  For sure it will be beautiful and have lots of plants and flowers all around.

The Petersham Nurseries Cafe – which isn't a cafe at all, but a restaurant with a Michelin star in Richmond, UK.
Skye Gyngell was awarded a Michelin star this year for her cooking at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond in the U.K.

We had brunch here this past weekend, it was fabulous.  I had their famous "Beet Burger".  Delicious.


This recipe and picture is from the Post Punk Kitchen

1 1/4 cups cooked, cooled brown rice
1 cup cooked brown or green lentils, cooled, drained well( you could substitute black beans as they do at Tiny Boxwoods)
1 cup shredded beets
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme, rubbed between your fingers
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel (or finely crushed fennel seed)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons very finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons smooth almond butter
1/2 cup very fine breadcrumbs ( you can leave this out)

Olive oil for the pan

Peel beets and shred with the shredder attachment of your food processor, then set aside. Change the attachment to a metal blade. Pulse the brown rice, shredded beets and lentils about 15 to 20 times, until the mixture comes together, but still has texture. It should look a lot like ground meat. 
Grill until done.  Yummy!!!!!


High-Hand Conservatory in Loomis, California is the most beautiful of all.
