Post by Bill »

BRADFORD BRANCH

Sale of Gordon Yates’s collection of cactus and succulent plants
By auction and fixed price sale
On Sunday 16th October 2011 from 1.00pm
At 445 Livingstone Road,Wrose, Bradford BD2 1QD


Gordon was a dedicated cactus grower who ensured that all his plants were beautifully presented and carefully maintained in excellent condition. Sadly Gordon died last month and the Branch has undertaken to arrange the disposal of the collection to those who will benefit from the quality of the plants and as a reminder of Gordon. In total there are about 600 plants of various genera of which about 100 will be sold by auction and the rest at attractive fixed prices.

Viewing of the auction plants and sale of the fixed price plants will commence at 1.00pm. The auction will commence at 2.00pm. There are no facilities for viewing before the date of the sale or before 1.00pm on the day and no plants will be sold before then.

Pictures of some of the plants can be seen on the internet at:
