Road Trip: California's Flower Fields

Apr 14, 2021

Road trips—they’re all the rage right now. There’s just something about kicking back in your car, rolling down the windows, and making pit stops to explore new sights. And now that Spring is officially in full swing, the best sights are flowers, flowers, and more flowers. Our favorite trip? A four-stop tour through California—known for its lush floral fields, gardens, and one very well-known national park. So, here’s your guide on exactly where to go, and what to pack and wear for the ride… because there will be pictures, of course.

1. Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve

Start your trip at Antelope Valley’s poppy reserve. Poppies, the Golden State’s official flower abound here and the reserve is a feast for the eyes. Imagine a sunny morning, the orange blooms, and you in cheerful palette to match.

2. Descanso Gardens

The rose garden at Descanso Gardens

Your next stop is in La Cañada Flintridge, Los Angeles County, to visit the famed Descanso Gardens. This 150-acre botanical garden features fruit trees, streams and ponds, and yes, flowers. Take a picture in their Japanese garden, the oak forest, or check out their collection of rare and unique breeds of the Camellia flower.

3. Joshua Tree National Park

Wildflowers in bloom at Joshua Tree National Park

No trip to California is complete without a visit to Joshua Tree. This must-see destination is known for its interesting and iconic trees, but it’s also home to several varieties of wildflowers. The beavertail cacti, one of the most unusual looking plants we’ve seen, tops our list of what to seek out while there.

4. Carlsbad Ranch

The flower fields at Carlsbad Ranch in San Diego

Your floral hunt ends here—with a bang, or a colorful explosion of blooms, that is. 50 acres of ranunculus flowers are on display in every color—it’s like a field of rainbows. Set on a hillside overlooking the Carlsbad coastline in San Diego, this floral attraction is a must on this road trip. But don’t wait too long, it's only open for a limited time—from now until Mother's Day.
