Manatee River Garden Club Annual Plant Auction

Description

Manatee River Garden Club Annual Plant Auction (zeffy.com)
Join us for the Manatee River Garden Club
Annual Plant Auction! 

On Thursday January 26th, we will relaunch our Annual Plant Auction.
Our plan is to serve guests an exclusive tasting of wine and cheese pairings
along with light appetizers. Later that evening we will start our Live Plant Auction,
where guests will be able to bid on many different types of plants for their yards,
garden & home. 

We are working with the Manatee Chamber of Commerce to build a prominent guest
list of like-minded people who will enjoy an evening out celebrating with friends
and raising money for a great cause.

All proceeds earned from our Plant Auction will be used to fund our Manatee River
Garden Club Scholarship Programs. All scholarships benefit Manatee County Students
majoring in horticulture, agricultural research, environmental studies or other
related fields. Last year we had such amazing applicants, we had to split our award
in two! This year we hope to raise more money to fund the education of the many
qualified students fitting this criteria. 

We also grant scholarships to students in grade 3-8 to attend the Wekiva Youth
Residential Nature Camp. This allows students to spend time learning Florida nature
protection, teaching nature studies & conservation.

We are very passionate about giving back to our youth and helping to sustain the
natural beauty of Florida.

Our Sponsors are very dedicated to giving back to the community as well and we have
partnered with Sam's Club, Total Wine & More, The Home Depot as well as many
other local businesses to ensure the night will be memorable.

Thank you in advance for your attendance and/or contributions.
