Spring in Los Angeles
LA County Flower Fields
Los Angeles is a big city, it’s part of what we’re known for, but LA also boasts access to all sorts of nature reserves and activities. And what better way to celebrate the spring season than to head outdoors!
We have talked about LA plant nurseries and botanical gardens ready for visitors in the past two weeks. This week, we will welcome spring in LA by highlighting flower field locations throughout the city.
This natural reserve glows orange with poppies during the spring. For the past several years, Los Angeles has seen “super blooms” when wildflowers are plentiful due to healthy amounts of rain for the past several years. It does not seem as though 2021 will be seeing another super bloom this spring, unfortunately, but you can check the live footage on the reserve’s website to see where the poppies are in their life cycle before planning a visit.
Malibu Creek State Park is an exceptional location for pretty much any outdoor activity, whether it be hiking, biking, rock climbing, or admiring the fantastic views. In the spring, Malibu Creek’s magnificent pink and purple wildflowers blossom across the hills and trails.
Wildflowers bloom at Palos Verdes Peninsula throughout the year, making the location breathtaking during any season, but the flowers are gorgeous during spring. Visitors can appreciate the flower-covered cliffs with a crisp ocean view.
Located on a cliff in Malibu—with stunning views, of course—Point Dume’s green hills turn bright yellow with coreopsis flowers during spring. Currently, the wildflowers on Point Dume have not begun to bloom, but hopefully, we will see more rain and more blossoming as we head into April!
One Last Thing
Wildflower season is dependent on how much rain we get in the city, so if you find that the flowers are not as stunning this spring, you can always see flowers at the botanical gardens or visit a plant nursery and bring spring home with you!
