Starting in 2021, San Francisco Bay Area photographer Mike James spent four years documenting the gardens at Filoli, a National Trust Historic Site in Woodside, California. He captured their subtle changes from week to week, month to month, season to season, and year to year.
Presented here are select views from his project that show the landscape in bloom, along with his thoughts on each.
(Shown at top is Filoli’s Garden House, built circa 1919 and designed by Arthur Brown Jr., as seen
from the Sunken Garden with Yellow Madonna tulips in the foreground.)
