Sunflower House

Experience the wonder of the sixth annual Sunflower House at Billings Farm & Museum, a breathtaking and magical sight to behold, spanning 20,000 square feet on picturesque farmland. 

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. 

Curated by the Woodstock Inn & Resort’s Master Gardener, Ben Pauly, and Kelly Way Gardens Manager, Taylor Hiers, this year’s Sunflower House will feature over 50 varieties including 13 sunflower types considered “showstoppers” that will wow you.  From the towering giants that reach heights of up to 14 feet, to the sweet, small blooms that stand 1 foot tall, each flower contributes to the living work of art. 

Delightful flower names such as Lemon Cutie, Starburst Panache, Buttercream, Feed the Birds, and Just Crazy add further joy to the experience.  Complimented 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. 

This vibrant canvas evolves with each passing day. As August unfolds, guests will see the emerging blooms with peak anticipated for late August to early September, weather permitting.
