Birdhouse Auction 2025

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

The Friends of the Gardens (FOG) annual Birdhouse Auction will run Saturday, May 31 at 8:00AM through final bid at 8:00PM on Wednesday, August 6.

Now in its 19th year, this annual silent auction benefits the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and features uniquely beautiful, quirky, and just plain fun birdhouses. The auction will take place entirely online, where you can enjoy a bidding war or purchase your favorite for the “win-it-now” price. Birdhouses will be on display at the Gardens (June - August). Come on by to see the fine details on each of the birdy abodes.

Proceeds from this FOG FUNdraiser benefit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. This auction has raised $96,867 for the Gardens over the past 18 years (2006 - 2024)! We are so lucky to have such talented and creative Friends (of the Gardens). Wouldn’t you like to add a special addition to your garden while helping the Gardens flourish?

HOW IT WORKS
To bid on birdhouses, you will need to create an account with our online auction program, ReadySetAuction. You do not need to enter your credit card information in order to bid on the auction items. Bid increments are automatically set at $5. View the auction catalog and place your bids!

If you have a favorite birdhouse that is simply a must-have, consider snapping it up at the “win-it-now” price… a fantastic donation to the Gardens and a big win for you! When bidding reaches $400, the “win-it-now” option will disappear. This means that bidding will continue all the way until the auction comes to a close on Wednesday, August 6th at 8:00PM. These highly sought-after birdy-abodes can potentially bid beyond $500 making this fundraiser even more of a roaring success! Take a look at your favorite birdhouses today and see if you want to take the plunge and “buy-it-now” price before you cannot…
