Bienvenue to ‘Stars in the Garden’ – we are thrilled to invite you to this year’s event. Let’s share the joie de vivre and whimsy of lunchtime in France as you immerse yourself in the garden of hosts, Melanie and Robert Champion de Crespigny, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon of delicious food and wine, surrounded by flowers and good company.
A decadent menu from Out in the Paddock awaits you, perfectly paired with premium wines from our friends at Maxwell Wines. Fabulous auctions and other fundraising opportunities will abound, as well as the opportunity to win un prix spectaculaire in this year’s lottery – ooh la la!
Above all, this is an opportunity to join Youth Opportunities as we raise critical funds to provide and grow our services to support those in our community who need it the most, together we can invest into the future of South Australia. Through the work of Youth Opportunities, young people are provided with the opportunity to turn their lives around, positively impacting their families and communities.
Whether this is your first time attending ‘Stars in the Garden’ or you’re a seasoned participant, please whet your appetite for the coming event by watching the 2022 highlights in the video below:
