Tickets are
selling fast for the annual Party for Perennial, which this year
celebrates the 180th anniversary of the charity dedicated to helping
people in horticulture.
It will be held in
the elegant surroundings of La Goccia restaurant at Petersham
Nurseries in Covent Garden, London and takes place on Tuesday 29 January
2019.
Anita Bates,
Perennial’s Director of Marketing and Fundraising comments: “We are
thrilled that our Party for Perennial 2019 will be hosted in this stunning
nursery with such a delightful restaurant and bar, providing a
really special setting to kick off our 180th anniversary year in
style.
"Those who have
attended before know that this is a fun way to network with existing
contacts and make new ones, and also that the funds raised make a
real difference to the lives of the people we help. In 2019 we want to
reach more people than ever before and look forward to speaking to
all our guests about how they can help us do just that.”
The event is now a
popular fixture of the calendar for the horticulture trade, providing a
great opportunity for catching up with friends, colleagues and discussing
new business, while raising money for Perennial. In line with feedback
from previous guests, the evening will be informal with a focus on fun,
food and conversation.
Amanda Brame, Head
of Horticulture at Petersham Nurseries said: “Petersham Nurseries is
delighted to host the Perennial 2019 annual party at our central London
destination in the heart of Covent Garden. As horticulture is at the
very root of our business and fundamental to all that we do, joining
forces with Perennial for this event is a natural partnership. We
recognise and applaud the efforts they make to support those who work
in this wonderful and demanding world of horticulture.”
Tickets cost £28
each and include a glass of fizz on arrival, as well as delicious Italian
light bites and you will be able to order meals from the menu if you wish.
Plus, there will be a raffle with fabulous prizes to be won. All
money raised through ticket sales and the raffle will help support people
in horticulture who come to Perennial for help. As the only charity
that helps people working in and retired from all sectors of the
horticulture industry, Perennial is a lifeline for people who have nowhere
else to turn.
This year’s event is
generously supported by sponsors the Horticultural Trades Association and
Gavin Jones.
