Designed between 1915–1917 and set against the dramatic backdrop of the northern Santa Cruz mountains in Woodside, California, Filoli is an excellent example of the Golden Age of American garden design and country house architecture.
Opened to the public in 1976 as a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Filoli features a 36,000 square foot home and a 16–acre English Renaissance Garden. In addition, Filoli's property includes a 6.8 acre Gentlemen’s Heritage Orchard and a trail system that transverses five different ecosystems for docent–guided nature hikes and visits to the Sally MacBride Nature Center. Filoli is recognized as one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century and is a cherished resource for the community valuing education, volunteerism and diversity.
Filoli offers a wonderful array of fundraising events and programs throughout the year planned especially for their visitors. These include the beloved Mother’s Day Flower Show, Jazz at Filoli, Holiday Traditions and the always-popular monthly Afternoon Teas. Additionally, the Gallery at Filoli presents an interesting array of art and decorative art exhibits each year. For more information about Filoli, visit www.filoli.org
