Rare Plant Auction
Hundreds of plant lovers from across the nation plan their calendars around this annual event. The Rare Plant Auction® is acclaimed for a premier selection of unusual, newly-introduced or difficult to propagate specimens. This gala evening at Longwood Gardens raises more than $100,000 each year.
All proceeds benefit Delaware Center for Horticulture’s Community Greening Program, which uses horticulture to beautify Delaware and to improve the quality of life for residents in urban neighborhoods. The Rare Plant Auction® is typically held on the last Saturday in April.

I’ve learned so much and made so many friends and acquaintances while working on the grounds, serving on various committees, and preparing for the Rare Plant Auction.
