SUMMARY:INPAWS Plant Sale & Auction
DESCRIPTION:INPAWS Plant Sale & Auction \nhttps://www.inpaws.org/gatherings/native-plant-sale-auction/ \nThis popular free event is INPAWS’ biggest fundraiser and our most effective way to reach the public. It takes place annually on the Saturday before Mother’s Day.   \n2017 Native Plant Sale & Auction\n“Planting an Invasive-Free Landscape”\nSaturday\, May 13\, 2017\nPark Tudor School Gymnasium\, Indianapolis \nPre-sale presentation starts at 9:30 for a $10 fee\, which entitles ticket holders to hear a talk\, begin shopping 15 minutes before the general public\, and receive a $10 discount on any auction purchase. Plant sale and book sale open 10:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Live auction begins at 11:15 and continues until every general sale plant is sold. \nTo volunteer for this event\, click the button below: \nClick to View Volunteer Opportunities on SignUp.com \nWhat to Expect \nWatch a Video about the Plant Sale & Auction \nThe Saturday morning of the sale\, people line up to get in\, many carrying bags and boxes in which to spirit away their treasures. When the doors burst open at 10:15 a.m.\, their behavior resembles a swarm of locusts. Admission is free. \nTables around the room carry native plants in all sizes of containers\, individually priced\, and organized by whether they need shade or sun. INPAWS volunteers are on hand to answer questions and tally up the takings. Refreshments are available for a nominal fee. \nShoppers can also browse the Book Sale for handbooks and references on native plant gardening. A portion of the proceeds goes to INPAWS. \nWhen the auction commences\, competition for the rarest specimens can be heated. As INPAWS’ erstwhile auctioneer Rolland Kontak used to say\, “There are no friends at an auction!” \nThe best part of the auction is learning about all the native plants you never heard of but just gotta have! Each auction plant is introduced by volunteer experts (thank you Hilary Cox\, Kevin Tungesvick\, and Sue Nord Peiffer\, who have played this role for years) while the auctioneer keeps things under control (thank you Michael Stelts). The action winds down by about 12:30 p.m. with leftover sale plants auctioned off table by table. \nBetween shopping and learning\, the INPAWS Plant Sale & Auction makes for a day well spent.  \nPre-Sale Presentation \nFor several years now\, the Plant Sale & Auction has been preceded by a 30-minute talk on a topic related to gardening with native plants (e.g.\, rain gardening\, attracting pollinators\, landscaping for birds). The nominal fee for this presentation entitles you to enter the sale 15 minutes before the official opening\, plus gives you an offsetting credit on your purchases.  \nBIDDING IS LIVELY AT THE INPAWS AUCTION \nWhere the Plants Come From \nMany native plant sale items are donated by individuals and local nurseries specializing in native plants. Others have been rescued by INPAWS volunteers from natural areas that are undergoing development. \nDonations may be dropped off at the venue the Friday evening before the sale between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. or the morning of the sale between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. They will be sorted and priced by volunteers. Clear labels are appreciated! The best specimens and rarest plants are set aside for the auction. \nCommercial operations wishing to sponsor or donate to the sale should contact plantsale@inpaws.org by April 1.
