Support Carpenter Nature Center by participating in the online auction held as part of our Autumn in the Valley Gala!
Generously supported by local individuals and businesses, the auction features themed baskets, plants from Bailey Nurseries, unforgettable experiences, original artwork, and much more.
You do not need to attend the Gala to participate, bidding is open to everyone! It’s a great opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping, discover something new, and support Carpenter Nature Center at the same time.
Bidding will open September 4th and run until September 13th at 7:30pm. You can register for the auction now, and browse the item catalog. Keep an eye on the website as we update with more items in the coming days!
