Spring has sprung! Once the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch have opened, you know it is spring time! For over sixty years, this garden of nearly fifty acres is covered with amazing and magnificent natural colors that nature can provide. People travel from miles away to experience the sight of these flowers. From March 1 to May 8, you can walk through this field of beauty. Fresh cut flowers are available to take home as a reminder that spring is here and what it delivers to our beautiful city of San Diego.
