Part 1 of this Postings posted yesterday were photos taken inside the House, featuring antiques, silver, crystal and an Ivory Mahjong Set. Since Pictures are worth more that a thousand words, here are some of the Photos, Dodie, Ruth and I took during our visit last Thursday March 27, 2025 featuring the Gardens.
The Filoli Historic House and Gardens is located 30 miles of South Francisco. Filoli is nestled on a slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounded by more than 23,000 acres of the protected Peninsula watershed. To the two families who live here, Filoli represented a desire to create a magnificent and enduring country estate. The first owner, William Bourn dubbed it Filoli ( pronounced Fie-low-lee), a made-up word drawn from the first two letters of his personal motto:
" FIght for a just cause; LOve your fellow man; LIve a good life."
The Filoli Historic House and Garden is a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is operated by Filoli Center- a Not for-profit organization. https://chateaudumer.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-three-most-beautiful-gardens-that.html
