This annual burst of color at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad is a favorite sight for locals in San Diego North County, welcoming the arrival of spring here in Southern California. The flowers are arranged in spectacular displays, such as a large American flag or a quilt of spring colors. You can view them from the road for free, or pay to take a walking tour for a close view. Be sure to bring your camera to get some great photos. A gift shop is available to purchase fresh cut flowers, bulbs and potted plants.

The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are nestled on a hillside between the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, a wonderful outdoor shopping mall, and Legoland California.

The best time to visit is now, April 15 - May 9. I was there today April 15 and all the large fields are in bloom, and will continue to offer a spectacular show through Mother's Day.

Also consider visiting during one of the Flower Field special events, but come early to beat the crowds!
