Looking for a great deal on plants? "Of course!" you say. Well, I have the perfect evening for you. Come and experience the excitement of live auction bidding for the terrific products donated by the Southern California Nursery Industry and silent auction bidding at the 22nd Annual Charity Plant Auction and Chili Cook-Off hosted by The California Association of Nurserymen and Garden Centers on August 22nd, 2012.
Not interested in purchasing plants? Well that's okay, there's more:
- Bring out the hidden designer in you and and enter the fairy garden contest. Top prize is $250!
- For you chili lovers out there: dust off that secret recipe you have stashed away, gather up some friends, and enter the Chili Cook-off - $100 prizes award in several categories.
Even if you just want to stop by and taste some great chili, have a glass of wine, or shake Ronald McDonald's hand - come out and support CANGC in this worthwhile charity event. Proceeds benefit OC Ronald McDonald House, Univ. of CA Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of Orange County, Horticulture Research & Scholarship Sherman Library & Gardens, OC Fair Centennial Farm Foundation, and UCCEOC 4-H.
