Rare Plant Auction
The perfect combination – people, plants, and positively intense bidding!
The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner; please mark your calendars for The Delaware Center for Horticulture’s (TheDCH) Rare Plant Auction®. Enjoy a delightful evening amongst the exquisite conservatories of Longwood Gardens while trying to outbid fellow plant-a-holics for the rarest of the rare and the newest introductions.
Year after year, this top tier fundraiser rakes in more than $100,000 for TheDCH’s Greening Program, which uses horticulture to beautify and improve the quality of life for residents in the First State’s urban and suburban neighborhoods.
We’re proud to announce that the 2014 Rare Plant Auction® Honorary Co-Chairs are Hockessin, Delaware’s finest…Peg & Steve Castorani! Peg and Steve are longtime supporters of TheDCH, where they donate valuable volunteer hours, serve as members, and assist with special events such as cohosting The Center’s annual water garden tour with their Hockessin based garden center, Gateway Garden Center. “It’s an unexpected honor for Peg and I to serve in this capacity. Our personal and professional ties with TheDCH are ones we hold in high regard. The mission of both my companies, Gateway & North Creek Nurseries, resonates with that of TheDCH’s mission: The Delaware Center for Horticulture cultivates a greener community by inspiring appreciation and improvement of the environment through horticulture, education, and conservation.”
Bidding for the Preview Auction commences at 5:30 sharp. Be a part of supporting a great cause, and remember - a little bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone!
