Filoli kicks off its 36th anniversary as a historic property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation on Friday, Feb. 24, with Daffodil Daydreams, a three-day celebration that will showcase its American Daffodil Society Display Garden and an array of events to educate visitors about daffodils.
