Join UCSF retirees for a guided tour of the historic Gamble Home and Garden.

Tucked along Waverley Street, this 2.5-acre estate was once the home of Elizabeth Frances Gamble, granddaughter of James Gamble, co-founder of Procter & Gamble. She lived here from 1902 until her death in 1981, nurturing the gardens throughout her long life and ultimately bequeathing the estate to the community.

Filled with family furnishings and personal touches that evoke a more gracious era, the Colonial Revival house was designed by San Francisco architect Walter Ratcliff Jr. and remains much as it was during Miss Gamble’s residence. Surrounding it are several flower beds maintained by dedicated volunteers and staff who carry forward Miss Gamble’s vision of horticultural education.

Registration and cancellation deadline is April 21.
