Each season we scout the Garden for amazing blooms and features our favorites here.

Heralding the arrival of spring, tulips are opening throughout the Garden!
The Magnolia campbellii ‘Helen Strybing’ in front of the House, is often the first magnolia to bloom.
One of the most popular deciduous magnolias, the saucer magnolia unfurls large blooms that are pink at the base and white inside.
Brightly colored hyacinths bring fragrance to the Dining Room Terrace.
Commonly known as Chilean bellflower, Lapageria rosea is the national flower of Chile. The plant blooms year round.
Sweet-smelling 'daphne odora' frames the front door of the House.

The gardens were beautifully illuminated with holiday lights making the evening seem magical in the winter evening. We sat outside by a warm fire and enjoyed warm mulled wine. The interior buildings were beautifully decorated with holiday wreaths and Christmas trees. My wife called family and friends to recommend they visit these gardens.

I try to go to Filoli Gardens each spring when the flowers are cheering spring onward. The house and garden tour is the best way for beginners to get acquainted with the wonderful story of this beautiful park. But Christmas tours are also a joy with the house dressed up for the holidays. Lunch or tea is another joy. And do stop at the gift shop. ENJOY!

Super beautiful and relaxing flower heaven! Truly worth a visit if you love flowers and gardens. There’s a cafe for good and snacks. The mansion is also very impressive, decorated with paintings and piano.
