Bring the Entire Family for Fun

The Bubblesmith is back to amuse young and old alike. The Fortis Agility Sports Training Group will put their adorable, talented dogs through their paces on the north side of the House. Nearby, we’ll have alpacas for viewing and a miniature horse for petting. Puppies in training to become Guide Dogs for the Blind will also return.

Filoli Orchid in the Greenhouse

Be sure to visit the Filoli greenhouses for a rare chance to see the behind–the–scenes operation.

In the Front Courtyard, children can have their face painted or try their creativity at the craft tables. Inside the House, you will be amazed by the stunning floral displays created by Filoli volunteers. In the Ballroom, Heather Rodgers will perform magic and Nick Barone will fascinate the audience with a puppet show.

In the Garden Shop Courtyard, you will be able to sample Filoli products (honey, herb mixes and vinegars) as well as other tasty treats. The Filoli staff has gathered an assortment of goodies and treasures in the Garden Shop. Freshly–made popcorn is complimentary; lemonade, cookies and other beverages will be for sale.

For your musical pleasure, the Shorebirds Band will entertain near the Sunken Garden and Joe’s Jazz Ensemble will perform at the Tennis Court while you relax and enjoy your boxed lunches. Please note: the boxed lunches must be ordered and purchased by 4:00 pm on Monday, March 26. The Filoli Café is another option for lunch with a selection of choices to tempt the taste buds.

Garden Docents will be on hand to answer questions about the plants, trees and flowers planted on the grounds. Or, you may opt to learn about the Gentlemen’s Orchard by taking a tour, weather permitting. During Spring Fling, you will have a rare opportunity for a behind–the–scenes peek at the Filoli Greenhouses. Children can try their green thumbs by potting a spring plant in a pot, that they decorate to take home. In the Visitor and Education Center, view Filoli’s 14th annual Botanical Art exhibit.

Please make your reservations as soon as possible because space is limited.

We hope you and your family will join us for Spring Fling at Filoli.
