Arthur Tomkins Auction - Sunday 5 June

Post by Al Laius »

Arrangements to sell the collection of Arthur Tomkins by auction have been finalised. The collection has a number of significant plants for sale from his 50 years in the hobby.

Over 130 lots including Ariocarpus, Copiapoa, Mammillaria and many general cacti
will be among the choice plants offered for sale by auction plus a number of other sales plants.

The auction will be held at Winterbourne House and Garden, University of Birmingham,
58 Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham, B15 2RT on Sunday 5 June.
There is plenty of parking close to the auction room. The plants will be available for
viewing from 10am and the auction will start at 11am.

Light refreshments (tea/coffee, etc) will be available but Winterbourne's tea room
on site can also do light lunches.

All plants will be sold as seen with payment on the day and cash preferred.
