"What Gamble means to me"

“With our long history in Palo Alto, Gamble Garden has played a role in many peoples’ lives, And especially these last few months, our garden has been a refuge to so many.

This summer, We asked our community “What does Gamble mean to me” and we have received many heartwarming responses. It’s my privilege to share some with you.

We will continue to gather responses to “What does Gamble mean to Me” throughout the fall. I invite you to send your response to my email address, sarah@gamblegarden.org.

Thank you
