India Currents: Filoli Gardens – Built to Dazzle!
Excerpt:
Do you remember the 80’s soap opera “Dynasty?” I remember it so clearly. As the credits rolled, they showed an aerial view of Filoli Gardens – it was supposed to represent the fictional, over-the-top Carrington family’s ancestral seat.
I had recently moved to graduate school in Boston and remember my roommate waxing poetic about the series. Dynasty focused on the lives of the Carrington family, a wealthy and powerful oil family who, “lived and sinned in a 48-room mansion.”
