Hours: Opens Tuesday and runs through May 8. When Edwin Frazee retired in 1993, the Eckes brought in a new grower, Mellano & Co., which has farmed the property ever since. Among the first seeds he planted at his small Oceanside farm were ranunculus, which he’d ordered from a seed vendor in Europe.īack in those days, ranunculus flowers had just a few petals, but over the years, Gage, and later the Frazees, developed a plant with stronger stems and bigger flowers with more petals. Riverside-raised Gage moved to Carlsbad in the early 1920s to grow flowers for the L.A. His father, Frank, had begun growing ranunculus flowers in the 1930s after learning about them from his neighbor, Luther Gage. When the Eckes transitioned from cut poinsettia flowers to potted poinsettia plants and moved their growing operations inside greenhouses, the fields were leased in 1965 to another local grower, Edwin Frazee. The long sloping hillside, which stretches from Cannon Road south to Palomar Airport Road, has been home to flowering plants since 1923, when the Paul Ecke family moved their poinsettia-growing operation south from Los Angeles. “A good germination puts a smile on a farmer’s face because that means more flowers for the guests to experience,” he said. Thanks to heavy rains and sunshine, Clarke said this season’s flower crop has had a “spectacular germination.” One thing that will be in abundance all season will be the ranunculus flowers themselves. He’ll put out signs when berries are available this season - likely just two days a week - and he’s doubling the size of the blueberry garden for next year to ensure more picking days. The blueberries, at $5 a basket, have been very popular with guests, but Clarke said they’re not producing enough berries yet to be open for daily picking.

(Hayne Palmour IV/For The San Diego Union-Tribune)īy late March, the all-petunia American Flag floral garden, located on a south-facing hillside along Palomar Airport Road, should come into full bloom and will last until the Fourth of July.Ī few years ago, Clarke opened a one-acre pick-your-own blueberries garden with four varieties of the fruit on the vine. Returning this spring after a two-year absence will be live concerts, yoga classes, flower arranging and photography workshops, wine-tasting events and tea parties, as well as food vendors selling kettle corn, lemonade, fresh strawberries and, new this year, pizza. Through timed-entry ticketing, visitors expanded into the usually slower morning and late afternoon hours, allowing for less crowding and more visitors overall. In past years, visitors tended to clump up at midday, which made for crowding in the fields and long lines for wagon rides. When the fields reopened for business last year, Clarke instituted a new online-only ticketing system that was so successful that it becomes a permanent fixture this year. Later, he sold what was left at a nearby flower stand with proceeds going to charity. With no income from wholesale buyers or visitors, Clarke was forced to mow down about half of the 2020 crop.
Most of the crop is pre-sold to flower wholesalers each year, but Clarke said all of his shipment orders were canceled within a week or two. In 2020, the Flower Fields attraction was two weeks into its visitor season when the pandemic hit. But with the advent of Instagram and other social media platforms, business exploded. Clarke said in the early years he was thrilled to welcome 75,000 visitors each spring. Over the past quarter-century, the Flower Fields has become one of the region’s most-photographed tourist attractions.
