Flowers in the Home

So much of the garden can be enjoyed indoors as well as outdoors. Filoli’s knowledgeable instructors, staff and volunteers show you how through three days of informative demonstrations, walks, talks, family hikes and fun crafts for children.

While visiting, don’t miss the beautiful display of Filoli's Cutting Garden flowers and the 12th Annual Botanical Art Exhibit in the Visitor and Education Center.

Programs are free for Filoli members or with paid admission to Filoli. Reservations are no longer being taken; however, there is still plenty of space in most of the programs; drop-ins are welcome.

We regret that there is no picnicking at Filoli. Please enjoy the Filoli Café or take a picnic to nearby Edgewood Park.
