2nd Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens Bird House Project
—Posted Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 at 5:23 pm—
For the second year, Friends of the Gardens (FOG), fundraising group for the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, is preparing for its Bird House Project Silent Auction.
Like last year, FOG prepared a few dozen wooden birdhouses, 9 x 9 inches, painted them white and handed them to local artists to decorate. The creations were amazing. And this year’s flights of fancy won’t disappoint. Best of all, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 30, you can check them out at the Gardens, place a “silent” bid and hope you win one of these masterpieces — some by famous local artists. Last year FOG raised $4,000. Here’s a sneak peak at some of the 2007 entries:
