Update - 1:30 pm on Tuesday, July 29

We will be open from 6:00 pm until sunset (about 8:30) tonight. The paths and parking lot are still a little soft. They will be better with a few more hours of sunshine, but please wear appropriate shoes! Strollers and wagons may be a challenge, too.

There is more rain forecasted overnight, so this may be the best night to get photos with flowers in full bloom.

Thanks for your patience this week!

Good morning. The flowers did OK in last night’s storms, but parking lot and walking paths are too muddy to open this morning. We’ll post an update early this afternoon whether things are drying out enough to open this afternoon/evening.

If you had photography sessions scheduled tonight, please message or call/text 712-551-7918 and we can let you know our plans as soon as we decide.

Thinking of everyone dealing with storm damage and cleanup this morning. ❤️ 🌻 ❤️

UPDATE - 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 28

We will open at 6:30p.m. until sunset today!!!

THANK YOU for your patience as we assessed damage from last night's winds. While there was quite a bit of damage and flowers lodged in parts of the field, there are still tons of places to take great photos. These photos were taken this morning.

Admission will be a free will donation - $5 a person is appreciated.

Please check the weather forecast and page before coming out, as there is the possibility of more storms this evening. Message this page or call/text 712-551-7918 with any questions.

We will keep posting updates on hours here - we were planning to be open daily through the weekend, but that may change depending on Mother Nature and how the flowers look. Thank you!

-------------------------

Unfortunately, strong winds and blooming sunflowers don’t mix. 🙁 High winds last night damaged parts of the sunflower path. We will be closed today to clean up and assess the damage for the rest of the season. Hopefully we can open parts of the field up for photo sessions the rest of the week. Keep watching the page and message or call/text 712-551-7918 with questions.
