2020 MPS Fall Root Auction Donors and Items
Every Fall, Minnesota Peony Society holds a peony root auction for its members and the public. This event was held outside at the Lions Park in Cologne , MN. MPS felt that the outside, social distanced event would help distract from the stress of COVID-19 issues. Gardening was not cancelled in 2020 and so on September 26, 2020, we held our annual root auction to allow members to bid on their peonies of choice. The following is a list of peonies from the 17 donors that was made available at the auction.
Thank you to all who donated!
