IT’S TIME TO RELAX, REFRESH AND RANUNCULIZE YOURSELF.
SPEND A DAY AT THE FLOWERS FIELDS THIS SPRING.

 

CARLSBAD, CA (November 14, 2006) - The vibrant waves of color that splash the hillside of The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch invite visitors to experience the horticultural beauty beginning early March 2007. This spring, for ten weeks only, this inspirational destination will use every inch of its fifty-plus acres to exhibit their renowned Giant Tecolote Ranunculus, abundant roses, world famous Ecke poinsettias and the new addition of the international orchid event. This spectacular sea of color will burst into bloom and transform into a vibrant rainbow that attracts over 120,000 visitors each season.

The Flowers Fields is the only working ranunculus field in the world that is open to the public. This burst of color will be complemented by many other perennials and annuals, including the theme gardens and the All-American Rose Selections. Coupled with educational activities, the blooming gardens entertain and refresh… creating a lasting impression. This year the Flowers Fields introduces a unique orchid shopping event where there will be over 20 vendors with orchids for sale from around world. Guests can walk the fields or relax and enjoy the open-air antique tractor ride through the fields. In addition there are various special events including Kids Days, Bluegrass Day, Arts & Crafts Fair, National Volunteer Week and the new Canon Photography Workshop.

The curtain is up, and once again the Flower Fields has staged a visually delightful rendition of the American Flag. The American Flag of Flowers is created with red, white and blue anemone flowers that are strategically planted on a 300 by 170 foot hillside paying tribute to the United States. In addition, guests can meander through the field of wonder within the Sweet Pea Maze, which is comprised of fragrant and colorful “old fashion” sweet pea blossoms. Guests will be truly amazed as they are enveloped in the swirling ambience of wonder and scent.

This season Fred Clarke, the new general manager, brings his orchid expertise and many fresh and innovative ideas to the fields. There are additional resting areas that were placed throughout the hillside and a new sitting area that offers a panoramic view where guests can immerse, relax and enjoy themselves in the serene, breathtaking waves of color. “We invite visitors to spend a day at the Flower Fields, it’s like an outdoor spa where your senses are stimulated, exercise is a beautiful walk, the water tastes sweeter as you look at the ocean views and you relax in a field of color unlike anything you might have seen or done before,” said Clarke.
