It was the best way to start my 2011 Gala season in NYC, The New York Botanical Gardens hosted the Annual Orchid Dinner at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on February 1st. I learnt that the Gardens are a designated Rescue Center and are involved in bringing ailing plants back to health, to make aware the illegal harvesting of endangered plants and to help prevent the extinction from over-collecting.
The real stars of the night were the orchids them selves. Each table was designed and donated by decorators and design teams.
The event was underwritten by Tiffany & Co, BNY Mellon and Veranda.
Many thanks to the staff of the Garden who found me a place to sit for dinner. It was delicious.
