Gamble Garden In-Kind Donations

Gamble Garden accepts home & garden items for resale, items for silent auction and raffle, and items for use in the garden and office.

Items for Resale

Very good to excellent condition: china, crystal, linens, silver, decorative items, artworks, small antiques, garden décor, and more.

Gamble Garden resells items at Over the Garden Fence (OTGF) during our annual Spring Tour (last weekend of April) and Winter Festival (first weekend of December) fundraising events. These sales are volunteer led and operated, raising the funds necessary to support our mission of maintaining this historic home and garden for the enjoyment of all. Items donated to Gamble Garden that are not resold are donated to other local nonprofits.

Questions? Contact our Spring Tour OTGF Co-Chairs Alison Ahmed and Isabelle Trainer at [email protected] with a photo and description of your items.

Holiday items are accepted for Over the Garden Fence ~ Winter Edition.
