The annual Friends of the Gardens (FOG) Birdhouse Auction returns for its 20th year, running online from Saturday, May 30 at 8:00 AM through Thursday, August 13 at 8:00 PM. This beloved silent auction features uniquely beautiful, whimsical, quirky, and handcrafted birdhouses perfect for adding charm to your garden or home. The auction is entirely online, making it easy to join the bidding fun from anywhere. Fall in love with a favorite? Many pieces will also include a convenient “win-it-now” option. While bidding takes place online, the birdhouses themselves will be on display at the Gardens from June through August, giving visitors a chance to admire the craftsmanship and delightful details up close. Over the past 19 years, this popular FOG FUNdraiser has raised an incredible $101,021 in support of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Every birdhouse is handcrafted by talented local volunteers, making each piece truly one of a kind. A special thanks goes to David Welter, who designed and crafted 24 beautiful birdhouses for this year’s auction, and to MCBG Board Member Keith Stiver, whose sturdy custom-mounted hooks will keep these creations flying high throughout the display. We are so lucky to have such talented and creative Friends (of the Gardens)! Whether you are bidding, browsing, or simply birdhouse-curious, this annual tradition is a joyful celebration of creativity, community, and support for the Gardens.

Make the perfect nature journal and fill it! We begin by constructing our own journals with various papers made for painting, sketching, or writing and sections to hold field samples. The hardcover binding allows pages to be inserted or removed and lies flat when open. In the afternoon, we will learn Nature Journaling techniques to help you improve your observational and drawing skills and deepen your knowledge of your subjects. On day two, you will learn basic watercolor or watercolor pencil techniques and then try out your new skills around the Gardens. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is the perfect setting to begin this journey. We will learn about the structures of plants, observe their environments, and examine their relationships with other living things. There will be many handouts and models, layout and lettering samples, and journaling styles. Your nature journaling journey does not end here. Upon completing this workshop, you are invited to join our Nature Journaling Club, which gathers in the Gardens on the third Friday of each month to observe, create, and connect. Please see website for info on registration & materials.
