Filoli, also known as the Bourn-Roth Estate, is a country house set upon 16 acres of formal gardens surrounded by a 654-acre estate in the San Francisco Bay area.
It was a hot day to visit, but what a lovely stroll we had through the gardens I haven’t seen for over a decade!
A bonsai exhibit had some interesting displays including a redwood that has been cultivated as bonsai since 1966. Another was a trident Maple that is 200-300 years of age donated to Filoli by a gentleman who survived Nazi Germany and emigrated to the United States.
The Spring blooms have already passed away, but there were still many flowers to enjoy especially roses as well as other varieties including ranunculi, peonies, irises, and water lilies (in the many decorative ponds). Here are a few photos.
