About the Sunflowers
- The total sunflower patch is 5 acres with paths cut through it.
- You will enter in “The Giants.” These sunflowers measure from 6’ to 15’ in height. You’ll feel like you’re walking through a forest of flowers.
- Next you’ll enter the “Pick-Your-Own Patch.” There are 13 different varieties of sunflowers in here. We recommend you just walk through the first time, enjoy them all, and then decide which type you’d like to bring home. This is the patch where you will cut-your-own sunflower that comes with the price of admission (or bucket of sunflowers should you decide to buy a bucket) on your way out of the festival.
- Next you’ll enter “The Yellows.” This is a great place to take photos. The sunflowers are plentiful and about the same height as you.
- Next you’ll enter “The Exotics.” These actually aren’t sunflowers. We thought you might need a break. There are many different colors here. This patch includes Black-Eyed Susans which look kind of like sunflowers and are Maryland’s state flower.
- Finally you’ll enter “The Surprise.” These are sunflowers again, but there’s something unique about them. We’re not telling what. You’ll just have to come and see.
