Christmas trees and decorating service

The Nurseries' popular Christmas tree decorating service returns this year, offering a bespoke at-home experience.

Stylists will visit homes to dress potted British-grown Nordmann firs in one of three enchanting themes – Classic, Woodland or Dreamland.

Visitors can also choose and take home their own Christmas tree from Petersham Nurseries' festive tree farm.

Christmas Shopping & Carols Evening

On Wednesday, 3 December, Petersham Nurseries will host its annual Christmas Shopping and Carols evening.

The Richmond site will be transformed into a winter woodland with glowing fairy lights, foraged floral displays and live carol singing.

Guests can browse handmade gifts, enjoy mulled wine and mince pies, and soak up the festive atmosphere around the outdoor braziers.

Hampers, gifts and decorations are available to order at petershamnurseries.com, where visitors can also book workshops.
