“Voyages…with an International Flair”
May 7-10, 2015 |
“NBC Bay Area”--Broadcast Media Sponsor of Filoli’s 2015 Flower Show
This year, Filoli celebrates its 27th Anniversary of their Flower Show Fundraiser, which has become a premiere event in the Bay Area on Mother’s Day Weekend.
The Flower Show theme this year is “Voyages…with an International Flair”. Visitors will enjoy viewing floral interpretations, elegant table settings and garden vignettes created by more than 90 designers who are inspired by this theme. There will be live music all 3 days.
In addition to the many professional, amateur and children exhibitors highlighting their talents and creativity throughout the Historic House and renowned formal Garden, there will also be nurseries, garden clubs and horticulturalists from all over the Bay Area participating. Special Teas, Champagne Brunches, Boxed Lunches, Flower Arranging Demonstrations and Musical Performances also mark this event. The Garden will be at its peak bloom as visitors can discover many new surprises throughout the estate.
New this year is the “First Class Suite Package” which includes a featured Floral Design lecture/demo by Bruno Duarte (http://flowersatoxford.com/bruno-duarte/), an intimate behind-the-scenes advance docent-guided tour, the Opening Night Preview Party, tickets to the Flower Show and extra surprises.
The Opening Night Preview Party will be on Thursday, May 7th from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Visitors can meet with the designers themselves while viewing their imaginative exhibits and will also be able to experience the Garden at dusk while enjoying catered hors d’oeuvres, wine, champagne, beverages and live music.
The historic Greenhouses will also be open to visitors Friday through Sunday where plants that have been in the Filoli collection since 1920 can be viewed. There will be live music and educational exhibitors everyday and Garden Information Docents will be on hand from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to answer questions about Filoli, as well as guests’ questions about their own home gardens.
