The MPC Plant Sale and Auction is April 18, 2015!
We are excitedly preparing for the Plant Sale and Auction, working to make this a great and successful event for MPC. Not only will this be a fun-filled event (and a fun team!), we will use our success at this event to help us discern the extent to which this could be an annual event that would help our budget each year. We hope you’ll join us, and help us establish a fun, festive, event that can easily be re-created year after year.
