Selected IAS 2018 Auction Plants

These plants and more will be offered during our annual auction at the IAS show and sale. There will be both a daytime auction Saturday and the traditional evening auction on Saturday during the banquet. You must attend the auctions in person to bid. We do not currently know which plants will be auctioned at which times. Proceeds of the auctions benefit the IAS.

IF the banquet is sold out, persons unable to obtain a banquet seat may attend the auction in Corbin Classroom A at 9pm on Saturday.

This page will be updated as more information becomes available.
