Happy Autumn Gardeners!As autumn arrives you may find yourself wanting to fill in spots in our garden with fall perennials or bring some green indoorsWhat better way to do that than to buy in support of a wonderful local dog rescue.This year covid-19 prevented charities from holding their intended fundraisers and instead everything has been moved online. As an active Manitoba Mutts Dog Rescue Volunteer I wanted to find a way to help out and there are very few things I love in life as much as gardening so I thought this might be a fun way to combine my love of animals with my love of gardening.

All plants in this auction have been donated and 100% of money collected will be going directly to the rescue. Prices have been set based off my best guess of what is fair but also with the intention of raising money for MMDR so please buy lots and consider making a donation as well.

Details:

I will post images, available descriptions and prices in this event starting on September 11th at 6pm and all items will be sold on a first come, first served basis. The plants will be organized into two groups: perennials and houseplants. One album will contain the perennials and a separate album will contain the houseplants. You will be required to comment SOLD on the individual picture you are interested in and in doing so you are committing to the purchase of that plant. You can buy as much or as little as you want. Pick up of plants will be on Fifth Avenue in Old Saint Vital on the weekend of September 12-13. I will be accepting etransfers, cash or proof of donation to MMDR as payment (etransfers can be sent to [email protected]). In an attempt to keep things safe and simple I will only post plants that are in my care and not plants that are promised. I need to make sure that nobody pays for anything I can’t lay my hands on for my own sanity.

How to Help/Donate:

If you have a plant that needs dividing and wouldn’t mind donating some to the auction I will be accepting plants into my care starting in September. If you don’t mind dropping off, that would be amazing! If you have multiple plants I might be able to arrange pick up. If you would like to commit to donating, PM me or email me at [email protected] ! I’ll be keeping a list so that everything can be arranged closer to when plants are needed 🙂

We will have drop off houses for donations around the city hopefully! So far we have Glenwood and Fort Richmond.
