It's all in a name. Our brand, Rosara, takes its name from Liz and Niel’s daughters, Ro and Clara. Rosara reminds us of family: gardens are places where relationships are nurtured and they should be filled with love, laughter and joy.
It is against this backdrop, fuelled by our passion for garden style, that Rosara was created.
We believe that when we make our outdoor space more beautiful, we will want to spend more time in our garden.
We live in a country with changeable weather and many of us find reasons not to venture out or spend time building different spaces for different moments. In the UK, the interiors industry is vast with lots of offers but who does style in the garden well? Lots of companies design gardens, our parent company included, but whilst we have designed hundreds of gardens since we started twenty years ago, we have always struggled to readily source stylish accessories and furniture.
Rosara's purpose? To be a completely new concept in garden decor, offering stylish outdoor ideas to you - not in a one-stop shop kind of way but as part of a guided catalogue - a selection of beautiful pieces to complement your home.
Liz is passionate about our customers and is very happy to see people wandering through the plants and sitting on the new range of furniture. Nicholsons is about an experience – We are all keen to welcome customers and share our love for horticulture, outdoor living and food. A garden designer by day, Liz is always happy to consult with you and help you on your projects.
Millie joined Nicholsons/Rosara in 2019 and is now our Rosara manager.
Millie enjoys working alongside the friendly Nicholsons design team to help the customers in choosing the perfect furniture for their gardens. She also loves being outside and has a passion for making both indoor and outdoor spaces beautiful. Always happy to help… you can find Millie’s smiling face at the desk at the entrance to the Plant Centre.
Favourite Rosara Furniture Range: The beautiful Bruern collection. The Bruern designed by Liz Nicholson is an elegant living set with a simple cross back and gentle curves. I would love to own a set of Bruern furniture as I think the simplicity and comfort allow you to enjoy your garden from a perfect viewing point.
