i need you…
Aug 7th, 2008 by Peter Donegan MI Hort
In 2007 my garden design ‘no rubber - soul’ [more commonly known now as the morris minor car garden] for the inaugural Bloom in the Park won silver medal. More importantly, for those involved the quite long media list [available on request] was endless. It even featured on Australian t.v.
In 2008, I and The Donegan Landscaping team went a stage further with ‘Pour L’amour de Jeux’/ for a love of the game [more commonly known as the pink boat garden] . Once again we were without a main sponsor - but for those involved the response was amazing. Of course the pink boat is now one of the star attractions at this years Electric Picnic.
So why am I on the airwaves bleeting about Bloom 2009 so soon? Well, we need a sponsor. We have had none for two years and whilst so far, [honestly...] child hood dreams maybe got the better of me, at some point, unfortunately, costs must be considered…
Do I regret it? That’s a bit like asking did you regret getting married? When you love something so much… it was not ever considered. In that context, not an inch of regret. I love it.
Donegan landscaping has a host of awards from 17th century design and build to the most modern of gardens.
The garden name & theme has been chosen, concepts are in place. I guess all I need now is you….
Peter, can you give more details on what you’re looking for in terms of sponsorship?
A Chara Jackie,
plain english dollars? the suggested for Bloom 2008 for large gardens was a start [min] of approximately 30k - but in most cases was a lot more… some twice, some three times some even over 100k. Something for every budget.
But with that obviously comes a lot more than just me and the garden…
if you require anymore information please don’t hesitate to contact me personally - and/ or Bord Bia/ Bloom team.
