The dazzling attraction stretches eight to ten weeks each year, from early March through early May, with a full slate of activities including live music performances, workshops and wellness classes. “This is going to be the most colorful season at The Flower Fields to date,” says Fred Clarke, General Manager of The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. “We can’t wait to see the faces of our guests as they take in the sight of Alex Heveri’s life-like, giant sculptures set against the natural beauty of The Flower Fields.” “Glass in Flight” features giant insects handcrafted from glittering Dalle de Verre glass, set into bright, powder-coated steel frames that will be scattered around The Flower Fields like giant jewels, complimenting the 55 acres of ranunculus and colorful gardens. Heveri employs the use of light and color in her work and fittingly draws inspiration from nature, in particular, the fluid and ethereal movement of butterflies, fireflies and beetles in flight. “The kaleidoscope of color that the Flower Fields bring each year is a stunning contrast for the individual sculptures that make up my ‘Glass in Flight’ exhibit,” says Artist, Alex Heveri. “I’m thrilled to bring my largest exhibit to date to Carlsbad, with over 38 sculptures sprinkled throughout the fields.” In addition, the 2025 Activity Calendar is blooming with activities and programming that have become a tradition for returning guests to enjoy year after year.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring how the choice of a vice presidential candidate can shape a presidential campaign and a presidency itself. The discussion is inspired in part by the new film "The American Vice President," streaming now on the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE YouTube channel and on the PBS app. In this conversation, panelists will discuss how and why a campaign picks a certain candidate for the bottom slot on a presidential ticket. They will examine how the media and the general public can interpret these selections differently, asking whether a VP pick can be a decisive factor in an election. Finally, the panelists will take a closer look at how the campaign role of a vice presidential candidate can reveal their role in a potential administration. Panelists: Michael Kazin is the author of seven books about U.S. politics and social movements and the editor of The Princeton Encyclopedia of American Political History. He writes often for The New York Times, The Nation, The New Republic, and other periodicals and newspapers and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His most recent book is "What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party." Christopher J. Devine is an associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton. His books include "Do Running Mates Matter? The Influence of Vice Presidential Candidates in Presidential Elections" (with Kyle C. Kopko) and "News Media Coverage of the Vice-Presidential Selection Process: What's Wrong with the Veepstakes?" He is also co-editor of the forthcoming book, "Second in Command: Reevaluating the Role of Vice Presidents and Running Mates in Modern American Politics" (with Karine Prémont). The discussion will be moderated by Adriane Lentz-Smith. Adriane is an Associate Professor of History at Duke University, where she teaches courses on the Civil Rights Movement, Black Lives, Modern America, and History in Fact and Fiction. A scholar of African American history as well as the histories of the twentieth-century United States and the U.S. & the World, Lentz Smith is the author of "Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I" (Harvard University Press, 2009), as well as numerous other scholarly articles and reviews.
