July 3-Sept. 9, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. — WOODSTOCK — The 6th annual Sunflower House at Billings Farm & Museum in Woodstock has opened early due to favorable weather.
Curated by the Woodstock Inn & Resort’s Master gardener, Ben Pauly and Kelly Way Gardens Manager Taylor Hiers, this year’s Sunflower House, spanning 20,000 square feet will feature over 50 varieties including 13 sunflower types considered “showstoppers”. From the towering giants that reach heights of up to 14 feet, to the sweet, small blooms that stand 1 foot tall, each flower represents a living work of art.
Guests are welcome to wander the pathways and meander through “rooms” and “hallways” created by sunflower stalks and blooms. Zigzagging paths ensure maximum impact of eastward-facing blooms, offering breathtaking pockets or vistas at every turn.
Delightful flower names such as Lemon Cutie, Starburst Panache, Buttercream, Feed the Birds, and Just Crazy add further fun to the experience. Complemented by 50 companion annuals, the garden bursts with a kaleidoscope of colors, ranging from soft yellows to deep maroons with every shade of rust, orange, yellow, and red in between.
The exhibit will run throughSept. 9.
