A Strathmore field is turning yellow as the sunflowers come into full bloom.
The Western District Historical Society is inviting visitors to view the sunflower field at Legacy Farm on Wednesday (Sept 3) from 5 to 8 p.m.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own cameras for a personal photography session. Those who donate will be entered to win an original piece of photo art.
The society also announced the return of the long-awaited Sunflower Harvest Night, with a specific date to be announced soon.
In past years, the event was cancelled due to environment challenges. In 2021, a thrip infestation damaged the crop, forcing the cancellation of both the photo session and harvest. In 2024, poor germination rates again led to the harvest being called off.
However, this month, flower and photo enthusiasts may once again enjoy both photography and sunflower picking as the field blooms for the eighth annual season.
