For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

We are all becoming more and more aware of the impact we have on the environment. The effects of relying on plastics is polluting our oceans, harming marine and wildlife and ultimately, humans as well. You may not be able to reverse the effects and solve the pollution problem, but you can take steps to minimize your own impact. In this three part lecture series, we will demonstrate, via zoom, on how to make your own soap, common household products, and personal care items. DIY is fun! It also helps reduce the reliance on plastics and chemicals used in everyday products.

Go behind the scenes with The San Diego Museum of Art docents and learn incredible details about a variety of works in the Museum collection. Each tour is live via Zoom and lasts approximately 50 minutes. Virtual docent-led tours are available across 15 topics, and at various days and times, so find the tour that is the best fit for you.
