Please spread the news far and wide – our annual Orchid & Plant Auction is back on Tuesday, February 21, from 7pm at Wesley Church Hall in 13th Ave, Tauranga. Terms are cash only so please bring some crisp notes to pay for your purchases, and also some boxes to carry away your new plants.
If you haven’t been to one of our fun auction events before, here’s what to do …
1: Register and get a bid number from the cashier’s desk
2: Bid!
3: When you win a lot, hold your number up so the cashier’s desk can see it and record the amount next to your name/number
4: Bid some more and repeat the process with your number when you win a lot
5: At the end of the auction, go to the cashier and pay for your purchases.
As well as plants of all sorts (mainly orchids), there is usually also some fresh produce, preserves and gardening gear. This event is a good chance to expand your collection for not a huge outlay.
Our auctioneer Conrad keeps things moving along and has a true talent for matching people with plants they didn’t know they wanted!
