A note from the auction coordinators Dr. Jeb Field & Dr. Chris Marble: "The plant auctions are always a highlight of the week. Southern Region IPPS Auctions are the best place to find the most unique plants, or the next big thing. More than that, we see year in and year out, young people expanding their enthusiasm through finding something at the auction they have never seen before – literally spring boarding careers and lifelong passions. These plants not only generate financial support for the organization, but also help bring students and new members to the conference with scholarships.
With this in mind, we would like to formally request donations to the plant auction this year. IPPS Southern region has so many amazing supporters, from producers, to universities, to botanical gardens and everyone in between, and we are thrilled to see what you donate. Each year we strive to surpass the previous year, not for greed or accolade, but for the advancement of this organization. If you need anything from us, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to serve and ensure that the 2025 IPPS Southern Region Plant Auction is the biggest and best auction of all time."
We look forward to another record breaking live & silent auction this year! All proceeds support the IPPS Southern Region Education Endowment growth.
