Filoli is a 654 acre estate south of San Francisco near the City of San Mateo, California. It is a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The formal gardens are displayed behind a Georgian style mansion.
The extensive sixteen-acre formal garden was planned and planted as construction of the house neared completion. The lawns and shrubs around the house were planted by the fall of 1917. The woodlands and the undeveloped Crystal Springs Watershed lands surrounding the estate provide a magnificent backdrop for the formal garden. The garden survives today as one of America’s finest historic gardens.
