The Great Sunflower Project

Here is a great way to get some free sunflowers for your garden with very little effort.  The Great Sunflower Project will send you a packet of Lemon Queen sunflower seeds if you sign up to volunteer.  The nice thing about these sunflowers, they can also grow in a pot on your deck or patio so one doesn’t need a large garden to plant them.  In exchange for the flower seeds, they are asking volunteers to collect some data on the number of bees that visit your flowers…..

Twice per month, we will send you an email giving you the preferred sampling weekend. If you can’t watch your sunflower on one of those days, try to pick a warm, sunny day within a week of that weekend.

• It takes less than 30 minutes.
• It’s easy.
• Free Sunflower seeds for planting.
• No knowledge of bees required!

Just think…….. a reason to sit and relax!   Check out the site….sign up and add some sunflowery goodness to your yard this year!  🙂
