I would love to be picking sunflowers in Victoria right now! Except for that snake part! In Minnesota, we just have to watch out for bees.
I’m not crazy about snakes either, Karen. It’s hot and sunny weather for picking the sunflowers at the moment. Some days have sunset nights.
This post is cheering me up so much right now with all the snow! I love sunflowers and would love to come pick them.
Glad the Alexis brightens your day, Alexis. Sure do, it’s magical.
This looks like the perfect summer activity! They are so beautiful!
Thank you, Lisa. We visited in fall / autumn.
Bringing back some great memories of our first outing to a sunflower field back in September. They definitely have a way of lifting your spirits! Not to mention, I had a lot of fun taking some great pics of the kids.
Sounds like you had a lovely time with the sunflowers and the kids, Marianne.
Well, that’s a great idea! I love seeing giant fields of sunflowers, but never thought about pick-your-own.
They grow wild on the roadsides here in New Mexico. I live them.
Thank you, Suz. Wow, do they really. I’d be tempted to stop & pick some if you are allowed to.
That sounds like so much fun to pick your own sunflowers. I like the tips, like wear a good pair of boots!
Thank you, Kristen. Boots are also handy because of the uneven terrain.
Sunflower fields are so much fun!
Thank you, Tom. Yes they are.
I love sunflowers so much! I would totally love to visit this sunflower field and cutting my own bouquet!
Yes you would, Kenni. It’s so magical being with the sunflowers.
Sunflower fields are great. There’s nothing to do but who needs there to be. Except our ones don’t have snakes.
I like no snakes, John. Hanging out with the sunflowers is so cool.
This looks amazing! I would love to visit a sunflower field with my grandkids one day soon!
Thank you, Tricia. You’ll love it with your grandkids in the sunflower field.
Sunflower fields remind me of my godmother. Looking forward to visiting some local ones to me this year.
Website says “dirt road country style”. Can you elaborate on the road condition? I just got a new SUV but I really want to see the pretty sunflowers on a dry day soon. Thank you!
Yes, I read that on another website. Parking is in a farm paddock. It depends on which direction you come from. For current local conditions, you could ask a question on Pick your own Sunflowers Facebook page: @ sunflowerpicking
When we went, there was a bike event in Ballarat so roads were closed. And, on the way home, the GPS took us on a dirt road which turned into a steep rugged dirt track in the bush climbing up and down a mountain. So if that happens, watch for kangaroos. If you see one, there’s usually more as they travel in packs.
Thank you for the prompt reply. I finally went! The main roads were smooth and the farm carpark was a dried grassfield. It was amazing to be surrounded by thousands of radiating sunflowers.
Thank you for letting me know. I’m glad you visited and had an amazing experience with the sunflowers, Yenny.
