An African Evening at the University Botanic Garden, Bristol
The wine, food, flavours and aromas of Africa came to Bristol this summer for an evening of wine-tasting, tours, cookery demonstrations and beautifully prepared African food.
The University Botanic Garden, Bristol hosted an exclusive evening of wine-tasting in and amongst its new South African gardens and glasshouses. With only 60 places, the event sold out very quickly, and while additional tickets were made available, there was still a waiting list of hopefuls. Thanks to Waitrose for providing the wine and expert, and to GardenAfrica’s regional fundraising coordinator Valerie Ferguson who worked tirelessly, and added flavour with her cookery demonstration of African foods which, were later enjoyed by all the guests during dinner.
A special thanks to host and curator Nick Wray for sharing his botanical expertise, and to his team of volunteers for their hard work. With such a resounding success, we hope to expand on this next year.
