Marin Independent Journal: Bay Area gardens bring on the holiday lights
Excerpt:
Another garden and house that goes big during the winter is Filoli, part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in Woodside.
Filoli is a 54,000-square-foot Georgian revival-style mansion built in 1917. It’s set on 654 acres with about 16 acres of cultivated gardens, an orchard, a one-acre trail and hundreds of acres uncultivated.
Filoli claims to be “the premier Bay Area light attraction” with its record-breaking 20-plus miles of lights twinkling throughout the garden.

The holiday-dressed house featuring 14 trees and thousands of ornaments and groomed gardens are open for touring, and there are optional Santa visits, a private fire pit experience, gift shopping at the Clock Tower Shop, grab-and-go meals at the Quail Cafe and a holiday bar on the Woodland Court.
