Activities Through The Seasons

Sunflower Field

July, Aug

The Sunflower Field really is a sight to see when out in bloom, we plant 7 different varieties of sunflower from the cheerful yellow headed Sunset to the more unusual and vibrant ring of fire!

Sunflowers can be cut from the field and purchased which make for an amazing display when combined with wildflowers.
