Spring Fling! ... Filoli

In the knot garden, Celtic patterns are woven with emerald germander, violet-hued Japanese barberry, soft lavender, and silvery santolina with its perky yellow flowers.

Spring Fling takes place on Saturday, March 20, 2010, an event especially for families!

You'll have a rare chance to see historic greenhouses sheltering plants that have been in Filoli’s collection from 1920 to the present: Carnivorous species, unusual bromeliads, orchids, and edible tropical plants, among them. 

There'll be activities for children, garden docents on-hand to answer questions, music, puppet shows and more!
