Jacksonville Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse and Gardens

2008 Jacksonville Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse & Gardens

Presented by Bank of America

Saturday, April 19 through Sunday, May 11
Pablo Creek Reserve
Jacksonville, Florida

The Guild is delighted to present its 32nd Showhouse, and even more thrilled to announce the Jacksonville Symphony Guild’s very first Designer Showhouse and Gardens.

Renowned local builder Elwood Collier and his wife, Donna, return for their fourth Symphony Guild Showhouse — perhaps the best ever. Located within the gates of the exclusive Pablo Creek Reserve community, the home is designed by Kevin Gray/Residential Designs, Inc., in the rambling, English country style. The Colliers have used many imported elements as well as the latest in technology to create the ultimate dream home. The finishing touches have been provided by many of the First Coast’s renowned interior designers. Be prepared to be awed!

The landscape and gardens will also be included in the tour — from the potting shed and courtyards, the cloister and colonnade, to the garden pool with its long vista across the lake — all created by numerous First Coast area landscape designers.

The Guild wishes to thank the PARC Group, Collier Classic Homes, the designers, our sponsors and the more than 1,300 volunteers and contributors whose generosity has enabled us to host this event.

Proceeds benefit the Jacksonville Symphony Guild in its support of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, as well as The Guild’s music education programs.

Welcome to the 2008 Jacksonville Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse & Gardens!
