Annual GNOBS Auction
Get your donations ready! Now is the time to go through that overcrowded bench and decide which of your trees should be donated to the auction for a new home. You’ll need the space for the fabulous new bonsai that you just can’t live without and bring home from the auction. The auction is the largest source of income for the club and the reason we can bring in well known bonsai masters for demos and workshops.

Auction Setup and Donations Accepted – 12 Noon – 4:00pm
Viewing of trees and other auction items – 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Auction – 6:00pm – 9:00pm

The success of the GNOBS Auction can be attributed to the generous donations of its members and local businesses. If you have any bonsai material from pre-bonsai stock to well styled trees or anything bonsai related, contact any of the GNOBS board members to make arrangements for your donation. GNOBS members will be available from 12 noon through the start of the auction to accept donations at the Marine Corp League Hall. Thank you for anything you can donate!
The club accepts bonsai, pre-bonsai, nursery stock and rooted cuttings (for the bargain table), bonsai pots, books and tools and anything else bonsai related. Huge selection of bonsai, starter material and pots for every budget from the novice to dedicated enthusiast. FREE and open to the public. We hope to see you all at the auction to donate, snap up some great bargains and have a great time!
