The Friends of the Gardens (FOG) annual Birdhouse Auction will run May 27 through August 11. Now in it's 16th year, this annual silent auction is comprised of uniquely beautiful, quirky, and just plain fun birdhouses to decorate your garden or home. The auction will take place entirely online, where you can still enjoy a bidding war or purchase your favorite for the "win-it-now" price. Birdhouses will be on display at the Gardens (June - August), come on by to see the fine details on each of the birdy-abodes.

HOW IT WORKS

If you have a favorite birdhouse that is simply a must-have, consider snapping it up at the "win-it-now" price... a fantastic donation to the Gardens and a big win for you! Snag your favorite early to beat out all bidders or enjoy the fun and excitement of a bidding war. Bid increments are automatically set at $5.

NEW THIS YEAR –– When bidding reaches $400, the "win-it-now" option disappears. This means that bidding will continue all the way until the auction comes to a close on August 11th at 8:00PM. These highly sought-after birdy-abodes can potentially bid beyond $500 making this fundraiser even more of a roaring success! Take a look at your favorite birdhouses today and see if you want to take the plunge and “buy-it-now” price before you cannot…

Proceeds from this FOG FUNdraiser benefit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. This auction has raised $70,451.06 for the Gardens over the past 14 years (2006 -2020)! We are so lucky to have such talented and creative Friends (of the Gardens). Wouldn't you like to add a special addition to your garden while helping the Gardens flourish? Place your bid!
