Catch bees buzzing in the English lavender in the Panel Garden, which dates back to the Bourn era. The Knot Garden features the deep blue ‘Hidcote’ lavender.
In the Walled Garden, cottage garden beds burst with a dense, colorful mix of plants that attract pollinators. This style of planting originated in England in the 1400s.
Our current exhibit, A Fruitful Garden, highlights the edible and medicinal plants featured in our summer display.
The perennial border runs along the bay laurel hedge, and contains lavender, smoke bush, roses, purple top vervain and more!
The Sally Holmes climbing rose, which blooms continually throughout the summer, makes this arbor in the Rose Garden a favorite photo spot.
Water lilies are blooming in the Sunken Garden pond. On a warm day, dragonflies dance above the water and frog song fills the air.
The yellow “Full Moon Rising” rose that climbs along the side of the Panel Garden cage is a mutation of the pink “Polka” variety. It was chosen for Filoli due to its disease resistance and fragrance.
Cheerful orange and yellow nasturtiums line the path at the back of the House. The plant’s flowers and circular leaves are edible -- and easy to grow in your own garden!

As a member of the American Public Gardens Association, Filoli is an active partner with PlantSnap, a plant identification application for your iPhone or other smart-device. PlantSnap was created with public gardens in mind to help guests discover the plants found within Gardens like Filoli. Filoli’s plants have been uploaded into the application so that when you take a picture with your device, PlantSnap chooses from the list of Filoli inventory to more accurately make an identification. As with other citizen scientist applications, the ability to identify a plant becomes more robust the more it has been identified. Happy plant exploring in the Garden!
