The Filoli gardens are a jewel set amid the rolling hills of the San Francisco Peninsula. The sunken garden and reflecting pool were established right after construction of the Georgian country mansion in Woodside in the early 1900s.
Today, Filoli is a beautiful place for a stroll and quiet contemplation.
As we approach summer, the colors in the garden shift from the pinks and purples of the foxgloves and cherry blossoms to a riot of dahlias and rose blooms.
William Kent, an English Landscape Architect, once said “All gardening is landscape painting.” I couldn’t agree more.
