Join editor Jo McCarroll at the Dunedin event to mark this significant milestone.

Plus, there’ll be lots of extra goodies, with each ticket including:
* Entry and self-guided tour of Larnach Castle Gardens (you're welcome to come earlier to see our beautiful gardens).
* Glass of bubbles on arrival and a continuous grazing board.
* Meet and greet with Margaret Barker, Fiona Eadie and their team of Gardeners at Larnach Castle.
* Spot prizes and a great goody bag packed with gardening paraphernalia (including a brand new, Jack Hobbs-bred Hebe ‘The Gardener’ released to mark NZ Gardener’s 80th birthday!).
Tickets are strictly limited numbers so book early to avoid missing out. In true Garden Party fashion, you are welcome to wear an elegant hat and pop on a pretty dress!
