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.

Filoli ... glorious in Spring!

Historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation

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!

The new web site is under construction but the design is moving forward! 

Redirecting to... Alice's Garden Travel Buzz



p.s. Anyone who may have signed up for an RSS feed before this afternoon - Saturday,
will need to sign up again. 
The old feed setting had to be deleted - I spent 7 hours on the phone today straightening out the problem. 
Sorry for any inconvenience.
