Info:
Join Gamble Garden for an exciting book event at Kepler's Books, and meet Susan Woodman, author of 'Gamble Garden: Landscape of Optimism'.
Join us for a lovely evening with Susan Woodman, pumpkin cookies (the recipe is in the book!), and a gorgeous floral arrangement courtesy of the folks at Gamble Garden, as Susan presents the beauty of our very own city oasis. With over 200 photographs, Gamble Garden: The Landscape of Optimism, presents a seasonal tour of the garden and its draw to all who seek it and its restorative rewards.
Gamble Garden celebrates an early 20th-century property in Palo Alto, and tells how it has become a haven and treasured community centerpiece. Gamble Garden has thrived as a model public garden since its rebirth in 1985. The reader is introduced to Elizabeth Frances Gamble, a granddaughter of the co-founder of Procter & Gamble, and the family house and garden she left to the City of Palo Alto.
As a student at the College of William and Mary, Susan Woodman developed an interest in photography. Susan has more than decade of volunteer involvement with Gamble Garden, and for this book turned an historian's eye to the heritage and present-day vitality of this important local institution.
