AUSTRALIAN BOTANIC GARDEN
Nestled within the Royal Botanic Garden and Domain Trust, The Australian Botanic Garden boasts an impressive display of approximately 4000 species of native Australian plants. As the home to the Australian Plant Bank, a leading scientific research and conservation center for NSW flora, the garden spans a vast 416 hectares, showcasing a diverse array of native and introduced plant species.
Originally a farm dating back to the land grant to Magistrate William Howe in 1818, The Australian Botanic Garden has evolved into a premier destination. Drawing visitors for its magical views, family-friendly activities, and nature walks, it has solidified its standing as one of Australia’s foremost sites for experiencing native plants.
Perfectly Paired collaborated closely with the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust team in a pivotal role, overseeing the hospitality tender process for the license agreement of The Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan. The success of this endeavor hinged on crafting a procurement strategy aligned with the venue’s market and vision. The primary goal was to secure a top-tier catering partner capable of elevating the visitor experience at the Gardens. Integral to the procurement process was the inclusion of First Nations involvement in the catering contract, underscoring the project's commitment to cultural inclusivity.
