Filoli Flower Show - Thursday, May 7 through Sunday, May 10, 2009

86 Cañada Road, Woodside, California 94062

Join us for this year's Filoli Flower Show, where beautiful floral arrangements and magnificent table settings complement the splendor of the Filoli House and Gardens.

Our theme this year, a Kaleidoscope of Flowers, will emphasize the play of color and light to create beautiful designs.

The Show begins on Thursday evening, May 7, with the Opening Night Reception. Guests are invited to stroll the Gardens at twilight, view the floral arrangements, interact with the designers, and enjoy musical entertainment while wine and hors d’oeuvres are served.

From Friday through Sunday, Filoli’s wonderful greenhouse will be open for touring. Flower chats will be held each day at 1:30 pm on the Dining Room Terrace. Musical entertainment will take place in the House and on the Tennis Court.

The Flower Show showcases Filoli at its very best and has become an anticipated event. Celebrating Mother’s Day weekend at Filoli with a special tea, boxed lunch, or Mother's Day champagne brunch is a wonderful way to show your mother that she is special and very much appreciated. The Mother’s Day brunch has become a family tradition for many in the Bay Area. We look forward to having you join us for this special event.

During the Flower Show there is no room for strollers at the tea or brunch. Advance ticket purchase is recommended. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
