Spring is here, and what better place to capture the beauty of the season than at the Filoli garden in Woodside.

“The property is considered one of the finest remaining country estates of the 20th century, featuring a 54,000+ square-foot Georgian revival-style mansion, 16 acres of exquisite English Renaissance gardens, a 6.8-acre Gentleman’s Orchard, and hundreds of acres of Natural Lands with 5 distinct ecosystems and a 1-mile Estate Trail. Filoli is dedicated to connecting our rich history with a vibrant future through beauty, nature and shared stories, so that one day all people will honor nature, value unique experiences, and appreciate beauty in everyday life.”

The gardens open at 10 a.m.. For those who want to carpool, we can meet at the Raley’s parking lot on Sunol Blvd. in Pleasanton at 9 a.m.. The cost is $24/adult or $20/ seniors. There is a group discount if we have over 15 people. Reservations are recommended.

RSVP to Vicki Stephens by April 30th.

Hope to see you in the gardens!
