The Big Sunflower Project 2026 (end of year report)
2026 was the sixteenth year of The Big Sunflower Project and the UK faced its hottest summer on record — my first sunflower bloomed in July and I still had sunflowers in late October.
The Big Sunflower Project 2025 (end of year report)
2025 was the fifteenth year of The Big Sunflower Project. It was from my perspective a strange year as I broke my wrist at the end of March. As someone who uses their arms to compensate when their legs won't work this was a problematic situation to find myself in.
The Big Sunflower Project 2024 (end of year report)
2024 was the fourteenth year of The Big Sunflower Project with people taking part in the UK, Germany, Hungary and Canada.

The Big Sunflower Project 2021
This time last year, I called time on the The Big Sunflower Project with a heavy heart. My little awareness project had got huge and the demand for seeds, applying for funding and distributing seeds all by myself, was at times overwhelming. However, as 2021 got underway, people began to contact me to say they… Continue reading The Big Sunflower Project 2021
