On a serene afternoon in November 2025, Filoli Gardens transformed into an enchanting playground blending art and nature. Tucked within a lush grove, a towering wooden sculpture captivates visitors, inviting them to explore its playful presence amidst the towering trees. The scene bustles with families, children, and curious onlookers, their vibrant clothing adding splashes of color to the woodland backdrop. Undulating trunks and a mix of foliage set the stage for an imaginative tapestry woven from wood and creativity. Highlights include accessories and vibrant handbags, complementing the natural artistry. The giant sculpture, almost part of the landscape itself, captures the essence of Thistlewyck’s magic, as photographed by Dave Bullock.
