Every year the Indiana Native Plant Society hosts an online auction. Our virtual auction format reaches members and non-members throughout Indiana and provides fantastic offers of rare native plants, private garden tours, celebrity guided hikes, and choice natives from our invasive-free Grow Indiana Natives vendors. Member and business donations help support our auction. Plants, art, books, consultation services, experiences, gardening gear or equipment, and gift certificates are all typical donations we receive.
