Well, what a sunflower season that was! 🌞First we were worried about not enough rain and the flowers were taking for ever to grow, then our BBQ supper evening was rained off after a huge deluge.🌧️
🌻The flowers were slow to open but in the end they showed off their glorious golden colours under bright blue skies, bringing joy to thousands.
👋Thank you to everyone who came, for all your kind words and posts. It was a real pleasure to see familiar faces again and to meet new friends. These are just a few of the fabulous pics you shared 😍
🌻Bunches of sunflowers can be bought from the Garden Room Shop now.
👷But an event like this doesn’t just “happen” - it takes months of planning and hard work.
Huge thanks goes to the very hard-working team who put all the pieces together: planning, seed-drilling, preparing the field for visitors, outside partners who delivered/removed what was needed, staff who manned the site, catering staff and those who worked behind the scenes. Without you Rougham Sunflowers 2025 wouldn’t have been the same - thank you!🙏
🎨So what’s next? September promises two weeks of the inspiring 25th Anniversary ArtWorks exhibition and a Botanical Casting workshop.
🍔There is a Butchery, BBQ and Beer evening and Roots Café is open every day as is the Garden Room Shop.
📍All this happens at Blackthorpe Barn; info and tickets from our website.
🎃And in October there are the pumpkins - oh yes, the pumpkins!! They are already looking fabulous and another month of ripening will make them all the more spooktacular. The Rougham Pumpkin Patch will be open every weekend in October and every day from Saturday 25th. As always, just come along - no booking needed, free entry and parking.
🌲For those who are already excited about the forthcoming sshhhh! festive season, yes, the Christmas Shop will open on 20th October and the Christmas Festival really gets going from November onwards. All the details from our website.
👋Enjoy the last days of summer and see you soon!
