Sunflower lovers, you’re in for a treat during fall (September to October to be exact) if you head to the Texan flower fields.

Is there a more perfect way to spend an afternoon? Definitely not. And, with their on-site bakery which sells an assortment of home-maded pies and pastries as well, there’s no better picnic spot than at Froberg’s Farm.

Carlsbad Ranch is known for its yearly wagon tours, American Flag display, picking fields, sweet-pea maze, and wedding ceremonies, so there’s plenty to see and do under the Californian sun. Get lost amongst these flowers during April and May for peak blooming (so for now you’ll have to wait until 2022, sorry!).

📍 Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, Woodburn, Oregon
If you fancy taking a trip to the vivid, colorful, and stunning tulip fields, but don’t want to head over to the Netherlands, we feel you. Luckily, the US has a few tulip fields of its own to woo tourists every year. Whilst tulip season is relatively short (between April and May), it’s totally worth the wait to see these flower fields, especially if you fancy a ‘trip to Europe’ without the fuss.
Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm does tulips properly – without cutting corners – so you get the full tulip experience. That means you’ll find rows and rows of neatly planted tulip bulbs as far as the eye can see. Did you know that tulips are one of the most prized bulbs in the flower world, and back in the day when Dutch settlers reached the US, a single bulb could bring thousands of dollars? So reverred and unique were they. Luckily nowadays, you won’t have to pay quite so much to get your hands on your own tulip bulbs to plant in your yard.

With the park being open from sunrise to sunset, it’s the perfect spot to get those stunning shots just before the sun arrives and leaves us for the day, so don’t forget to pack your camera for silky red and pink skies that match the vibrancy of the poppies around your feet!
