About

Filoli celebrates the gifts of edible, medicinal, and pollinator plants with a vibrant, ever-changing display of fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the formal Garden. Visitors can learn how Filoli’s horticulturalists combine a 100-year tradition of food production with modern gardening techniques and artistic design to deliciously decorate a garden for both people and pollinators. In the Sunken Garden, passion fruit, eggplants, and beans dangle from trellises, while dramatic foliage of bull’s blood beets and golden pineapple sage blanket the beds. In the Walled Garden, asters, sunflowers, poppies, and fennel supply nectar and pollen to bees, butterflies, beetles, and birds. This bountiful display will vary throughout the season and is included with Filoli admission. Filoli’s Clock Tower Shop offers visitors Filoli-grown and approved vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, seeds, and tools for growing their own fruitful gardens.
