Summer Sunflowers

Sunflowers started blooming on July 25, 2018 at Agricenter International in Memphis, Tennessee. Over 78,000 sunflower seeds were planted in two phases for the community to enjoy. The blooming sunflowers will last a couple weeks, depending on the weather, and one month from now there will be a new crop of sunflowers blooming next to it. Photography is allowed, butplease do not pick sunflowers.  Agricenter has designated parking areas for visitors to enjoy the sunflowers. Enter off Germantown Parkway on Timber Creek Drive, and follow the signs for sunflower parking. 

The Agricenter encourages photographers to send their photos of the sunflowers to be included in their album. Send photos to info@agricenter.org or use the hashtag #AgricenterSunflowers. To view this year’s and last year’s photos visit: www.agricenter.org/sunflowers.
