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 eight to ten 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.

On April 20th, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Covewood invites you to delight in a specialty family style Easter brunch, specially crafted by Executive Chef Roy Hendrickson. Surrounded by the beauty of swaying palms, fresh blooms and a sparkling Mission Bay, choose between savory dishes like Prime Rib Roast and sweet delights like Caramel Croissant Bread Pudding to share with the ones you love.

Beginning at 11:00 AM then again at 1:00 PM, grab your best basket and join us as we search our bayside grounds for easter eggs filled with holiday goodies. We will have a petting zoo 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
