          Greetings,     
                                                  The second
fundraiser of the year, the Autumnal Plant Auction, is now underway!  
     
                      See our new Auction-Fundraiser page for the
auction terms and listings:
https://sacredsucculents.com/auction-fundraiserPlease read the full
terms before bidding.Plants are for US bidders only._All bids should
be directed to our other email:_  benkamm at monitor.net         The
auction closes this Sunday, October 20, at 6:00pm Pacific Standard
Time.         
            After the damage we've sustained the last 2 winters, and 
extreme heat spikes in summer taking a toll, these auctions are a big 
help in raising the support the nursery so vitally needs -- know that 
your auction purchases directly fund these much needed nursery
repairs,  essential renovations, ongoing irrigation installation
[after 20 years  of hand-watering, we can no longer keep up -- we've
lost over 25% of our  rare & endangered plant collection in the last 5
years due to the  climatic shift towards hotter & drier], equipment
repair &  replacement [for instance, the refrigerator we use
exclusively for our  seed bank died during the worst summer heat], as
well as our continual  research & conservation work. We are deeply
grateful for your love  of plants and support of our work!__

As some of you know, in addition to caring for thousands of plants,
the last few years I've assisted in publishing the anniversary edition
of my friend John Crowley's 1981 award winning novel,_ Little, Big_.
Erik Davis recently posted a lovely essay about the book in which I
make an appearance: https://www.burningshore.com/p/big-little-big
