Description
|
The Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, a non-profit community horticultural
center, hold the 25th Annual Spring Tour, "Masterful Gardens over
Twenty-Five Years " on Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24, 2010,
including a tour of 6 private Palo Alto gardens, plant sale, silent
auction, raffle, boutique, luncheon, garden experts, and self-guided tour
of Gamble Garden.
Join us for a day of exploring magnificent gardens...some lush, full of
color, and robust with blooms and fragrance; as well as those that are
water-wise and use water features effectively, provide elegant design
elements, and highlight both vegetation and native plants. There is
something for everyone to enjoy.
There are two clusters of gardens for easy viewing across the city. Three
gardens in Old Palo Alto are an easy drive or a leisurely walk between
them. The second cluster of gardens is in Crescent Park, easily within
walking distance of one another. Custom designed trellises, sculptural
iron gates, furniture, and planter boxes, a succulent garden, fruit trees
galore, water saving landscaping, a fiber-optic lit cement patio,
sophisticated gardens crafted in thematic precision by well known
landscape designers are all available in this year's Spring Tour.
Gamble Garden is at the center of the Tour, literally as well as
figuratively. This year live music will be performed at Gamble Garden
during the main part of both Tour days.
There will be a gourmet box lunch available by pre-order ($15),
complimentary iced tea, cookies, and coffee cart and crepe desserts for
purchase. Unique plant, horticultural reference information, and hand
picked boutiques and artists with high quality selections for sale.
This is a Tour not to be missed, along with the ever-growing "Over the
Garden Fence" sale of lovingly used garden-themed items donated by the
community and a Silent Auction filled with items you can not get anywhere
else.
