Join architect Dan Garber for an intimate Sunday morning journey through the private gardens of historic Birge Clark homes, a rare experience benefiting the Palo Alto Museum’s Opening Campaign.

Guests will gather in two private gardens, stroll past additional Birge Clark-designed homes, and hear Dan’s insights into the architect’s extraordinary influence on Palo Alto—including the Roth Building at 300 Homer Avenue, home of the Palo Alto Museum. President and CEO Marguerite Gong Hancock will offer a sneak peek of highlights of the Museum’s latest plans for exhibits, events, and education.

Light summer fare of French pastries, quiche, seasonal fruit, coffee, and bubbly will be served.

All proceeds support the essential repairs needed to protect the 1932 landmark Roth Building and move toward opening the Museum’s doors to the community.

Space is limited. Advance reservations required.

Please direct any questions to the Museum at 650-322-3089.
