May 2018 Garden Tour

In early May, we boarded a bus and toured the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden and house in Palo Alto. We had a wonderful luncheon in the garden. We then toured three other wonderful gardens in Palo Alto and Atherton.
The first was a beautful Palo Alto home on a small lot with a wonderful fruit orchard in the front yard and an amazing vegetable garden in the back. We then traveled to Atherton where we stopped at a large garden with many garden rooms, sculptures, and an amazing palette of plants. The final garden, also in Atherton, was a beautiful array of rose bushes, citrus plants, redwoods, and art.
