Where to Surf in San Diego

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.

To honor Earth Month, and reduce our waste we won’t be sending out physical kits for April’s Family Sunday from Home. Instead, we’ve developed a project using materials you can collect outside. The project is called, Nature Self-portraits and we’ll create them using leaves, flowers, branches and other natural materials! Join us as we focus our energies on our environment and what we can do to make it better. Reduce, reuse and recycle with this one-of-a-kind art project.

RSVP using the link below to receive instructions for making Nature Self-Portraits, our special tutorial video, and more information on our Facebook Live event. Look for leaves and fallen flowers while on a walk or stop by the park to pick up a few sticks in preparation for our Live event on April 18.
