Welcome to the Sunflower Club End of Summer Party
Google tells me that the world’s tallest sunflower grew to over 7 metres tall. So ours aren’t going to break any records but they have reached a very respectable 2m 47 cm. (Did I hear you say ‘wow!’?) They have brought us so much pleasure over the summer and the girls have learned lots of things through growing them. The sunflower height chart we made also revealed that Little isn’t quite as little as she was when we planted our seeds as she has grown 2.5cm too. Although they have grown tall this year the flowers appeared early and have faded now and we’re wondering what to do with the seeds – so if you have any suggestions we would love to hear them.
If you have been growing sunflowers or doing any sunflower linked crafts or activities we would love you to link up with your posts. Please use the linky below to show us how your sunflowers have fared and to give us some craft and activity ideas to use next year.
Thanks for following along in our Sunflower Club – we hope you’ve had fun too.
(You could add a link in your post to here so your readers can come and share all the ideas in the link-up too.)
In our acrchive: all of our sunflower activites.

Fabulous! You guys did really well.. there is a “lone” sunflower growing by a tree on the road round the corner… may “harvest” that one once it has “gone” 😉 an d next year take part. Wonder if it was Guerilla Gardening or a stray seed from the front garden near by…
Mmmh.

I love guerilla gardening Maggy – there’s a guy who cycles round near us launching seed bombs of wild flowers. 🙂
