                                      Fall 2021 Daylily Auction - Public Invited

        Mark your calendars now so you don’t miss the 2021 GVDS Auction on Thursday, September 9 at Cascade Christian Church, Centennial Hall, located at 2829 Thornapple River Dr., SE, Grand Rapids, 49546.  Doors open at 6:15 pm and bidding will start promptly at 7pm.  A PowerPoint presentation has been prepared so everyone will see the beautiful flowers they are bidding on.  Along with the live auction, many silent auction items will also be available.  Invite your gardening friends to this fun and lively event.  Cash and checks accepted.  Our newest daylilies, 1st time on the auction block, were purchased from Slightly Different Nursery (www.slightlydifferentnursery.com). Many in the world of dayliles have probably met or heard of the unforgettable Paul Owens, owner and hybridizer of Slightly Different Nursery.

         This event is open to the public without charge.
