Tours at The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch

The amazing fields that can been seen from Interstate 5 are a result of over 85 years of floral cultivation.  Starting with Luther Gage, an early settler and grower settled in the area in the early 1920’s, Mr. Gage brought Ranunculus seeds to the area and began growing.

The flower fields were next to Frank Frazee’s small vegetable farm in South Oceanside which started a business called “Luther Gage Giant Tecolote Ranunculus bulbs”. The name “Tecolote” came from the owls that nested on his property.
