"Hats Off to Mother Nature"

May 5, 2011

Filoli

"Hats Off to Mother Nature," pays tribute to gifts of nature in the beautiful gardens at Fioli. Filoli is "Located 30 miles south of San Francisco. The estate is a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century.

"Hats Off to Mother Nature" had more than 75 floral exhibits and garden vignettes in the House and Garden including nine beautiful table settings from talented Bay Area Floral designers. Visitors also enjoyed the children’s, the miniature’s, the bonsai and the horticulture exhibits (that included irises, roses, camellias, rhododendrons and others). "Exquisitely beautiful and ever-changing, the gardens of Filoli offer visitors the chance to learn about the estate's renowned horticulture practices or to simply enjoy the serenity for which they were designed. Strolling the Garden is always a spectacle at Filoli." Pictures are of flower lovers in the Filoli mansion and gardens and some lovely arrangements and floral bouquets. Be sure to check out more events at Filoli!
