Good bye to the summer heat and great monsoon and hello to a wonderful fall planting time. This event has been a Tucson Cactus & Succulent Society tradition for more than 50 years. All proceeds will help our Pima Prickly Park development.

This is a celebration: silent auctions, Free Plants, $2, $5, $10 sale tables and Ice Cream with all the toppings. Bring your excess plants for the free plant table. All we ask is that your plants are free of disease and insects. Better plants will go on the $2.00, $5.00 and $10.00 tables and special plants for the silent auctions.

Bid sheets and price stickers will be available at the September meeting, at the event and on our website for your convenience. The Board has adopted the same policy as we had at Sonoran IX with a high value special silent auction plants. These items will have an opening minimum bid of $20.00 or more set by the donor. If the item sells for at least the opening bid the donor receives the opening bid price and any amount above that goes to the society. We will have a number of special plants and books from friends and past members of the Society. Some are large, some are old and some are rare. Be sure you don’t miss out.

We will have at least 3 separate silent auctions during the afternoon. Pots, plants, special cuttings, books, tools etc are welcome donations for these silent auctions. Free Plants will be available starting a 3:30pm in order to give everyone an opportunity to take some home. We will start the set-up at 1:00pm and the party will start at 3:00pm with the first silent auction ending at about 3:15pm and then about every 25 minutes there after. All you have to do is sign-in, get a bid number and then keep bidding until you hear “PENCILS DOWN”.

We need volunteers for set-up, sales, and clean-up. Come help and have fun, ask questions, talk with friends, etc., etc., Please feel free to bring your family and friends to this event. You don’t have to be a member or bring plants or buy them, just come and enjoy the event. More information will be available at www.tucsoncactus.org or call (520) 256-2447.
