Auction Donation — Ganna Walska Lotusland

Thank you for supporting Lotusland Celebrates: Jardin des Rêves. Your donation plays a vital role in sustaining Lotusland’s mission of preserving its world-renowned collections, advancing sustainable horticulture, and fostering environmental stewardship.

Auction donations begin at a minimum fair market value of $2,500, with select high-value items featured in the Live Auction. Last year, winning bids reached up to $60,000, and this year, we aim to build on that success. This prestigious event attracts an exclusive circle of philanthropists, business leaders, and tastemakers, making it a unique opportunity to showcase exceptional offerings while contributing to a meaningful cause. We welcome extraordinary experiences, luxury goods, and one-of-a-kind opportunities that will inspire competitive bidding and generate significant support for Lotusland.

Lotusland will determine whether an item is part of the Live Auction or Online Auction and may group donations into larger lots to maximize their impact.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and support in making this year’s auction an extraordinary success!
