The Flower Fields

The past year has inspired us to spend more time outdoors, enjoying all of the beauty of our state. Thanks to Southern California’s dreamy weather, we’ve been able to enjoy the beach, the mountains, and everything in between. Last year, we had planned to continue our annual tradition of visiting The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, but much of the world shut down due to COVID-19. We were so excited when we learned that The Flower Fields would reopen this year, perfectly timed for their Spring bloom! While some of the logistics of visiting have been adapted to comply with social distancing recommendations, The Flower Fields remain one of the most beautiful spots to see acres of ranunculus flowers against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

The Flower Fields

My Instagram feed is a colorful stream of blooming wildflowers! Thankfully, we don’t have to drive far to see the incredible 50-acre fields of ranunculus in Carlsbad. These fields are the result of over 85 years of floral cultivation by Luther Gage, known in Carlsbad as the Father of The Flower Fields. These Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers are in bloom for six to eight weeks each year, from March through early May.

While much of our experience at The Flowers Fields was reminiscent of previous years, there are some noteworthy changes, particularly with regards to safety measures.

  • Remember to purchase your tickets ahead of your visit on their website. No onsite tickets will be sold this year.
  • Staff and visitors are required to wear a face covering.
  • Be mindful of social distancing (markers are located throughout The Flower Fields).
