  • 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.

  • 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 →
