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.

Especially in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Sweden, it is famous for having large poetry associations.
