We are pleased to announce Crocker Highlands Elementary School’s third Home & Garden Tour (formerly known as Shades of Green), to be held on Sunday, October 3, 2010. This Tour showcases the historic Crocker Highlands neighborhood of Oakland, allowing a glimpse inside a diverse collection of private homes and gardens.

This is a tour about education and inspiration, spotlighting the broad range of architectural styles that are the hallmark of this historic neighborhood, while also celebrating the diverse design approaches that the homeowners have brought to the task of both modernizing and preserving homes that were built primarily in the 1920’s.

Shades of Green is a PTA fundraiser for the benefit of Crocker Highlands Elementary, one of Oakland’s most diverse and successful public schools. All proceeds will fund student enrichment programs.

For further information, or if you are interested in being a part of the event, please contact us at 510-919-2254 or shadesofgreen@crockerschool.org.
