Auction of Encyclopedia of Alpines

Anna Leggatt has generously donated this encyclopedia, published by the Alpine Garden Society in 2 volumes in 1993.  On-line used book dealers are currently asking at least $200 (Canadian) for the set. Despite the fact that this reference is now free on-line, we know that many of our members are book lovers or collectors who will be anxious to acquire their own copy.  It is Anna's hope that by holding monthly draws or auctions of highly desirable items, more of our members will opt to attend meetings in person rather than over Zoom. For this reason, we have established a few rules. 

  • Anna's donations will be available exclusively to members who attend meetings in-person.
  • Bidding will start at $25. 
  • Payment by cash or cheque. E-transfer will be accepted only if you immediately show us the receipt on your phone.

Draw for Colocasia Bulbs

There will be a free draw for 3 bulbs of Elephant Ears. Retail value is about $20 per plant! They should be stored cool, but frost-free, over the winter and planted in a very moist, partially shaded location once the warm weather returns.
