Re: [GSAS-board] Cash value for auction Plants

I seem to recall that someone from Florida also donated a box of plants to us, thanks to my gathering of goodies for the general auction. But I forget.

FYI we are back from Hawaii (it was awesome), we have many underwater pics of fish and turtles (equally awesome), and I’ve blown out a ligament in the left knee (not so very awesome).

Paul,

the FAN order (donation) for the April auction came through Sam (I guess) the plants for the February plant auction came from Africans Northwest here in Seattle. Our contact at Africans Northwest was a lady (Melanie??).

I thought the FAN plants were nicer. Are you in contact with "Sam"??

We bought plants for $327 for the plant auction last year (from Africans Northwest). So the $300-$350 sounds good to me.

Sam made it happen! The plants were direct from FAN and delivered the day of to stay “fresh.” We need a $ and pick up the day of. The number is generally $300-350.

The FAN order for the April auction with a square foot or cobra grass was a donation (Thanks Phil).

Hi Paul, Board, et al,

Where did we get the excellent plants that we had last year and what was the budget?

Dear Board, I would like to contact Africans northwest to order plants for Feb. Do we have a cash value in mind? Once I see what is available I will make specific requests.
