Come enjoy an exclusive opportunity to view eight very special Homes and Gardens in the charming, tree-lined Crocker Highlands Neighborhood of Oakland. The self-guided walking tour takes place on Sunday, October 7, 2007 from 10 AM to 5 PM.
This year's showcase will display the broad range of architectural styles that are the hallmark of this historic neighborhood, while also celebrating the diverse design approaches that homeowners have brought to the task of both modernizing and preserving homes that were built in the 1920s. This is a tour about education and inspiration.
In addition to the tour, there will be a Green Design Expo held on the school grounds highlighting eco-friendly construction and landscaping techniques and giving the public access to professionals knowledgeable about sustainable products and design. Al fresco dining will be available throughout the day.
This event is a PTA fundraiser for the benefit of Crocker Highlands Elementary, one of Oakland’s most diverse and successful schools. All proceeds will fund student enrichment programs. The tax-deductible admission tickets are $40 before October 7 and $45 at the door. Purchase your tickets online anytime prior to the tour. Tickets will also be available at select local merchants starting August 15th.For further questions, or if you are interested in sponsoring the event, please contact us at shadesofgreen@crockerschool.org or 510-325-0950.
