The preschool is buying heirloom sunflower seed in bulk. We’re going to make a ‘Sunflower House’.
How to grow a sunflower house
@bacheloretteofscience THIS WORKS so well!
If
you want to get super fancy, do a second ring on the outside of 4’ tall
sunflowers then a third outer ring of the 1’ tall teddy bear
sunflowers. If there are any gaps you can interplant with cosmos,
amaranth and nasturtiums or (if there are huge gaps) gourds.
My mom used to do this for me in the backyard as a kid- it really works and I always loved it! Spent so many summer days having tea parties with teddy bears in my sunflower house.
The elementary school I went to had a similar setup except with lilac bushes – it had an open space in the middle and little enclaves here and there that were the right size for a group of three or four kids (a lot of the girls liked to play with My Little Ponies in there). It was beautiful and smelled amazing.
