Sunflowers are very much associated with summer. There’s something quite amazing about passing by a field of yellow when out and about exploring the Hampshire countryside. Although some of the Hampshire sunflower fields are kept for commercial farming, there are some fields that you are able to visit. So, if you are looking for a beautiful floral centrepiece or you simply fancy a summer stroll through the yellow hues, then take a look at some of the places in Hampshire where you can pick sunflowers.
Sam’s Sunflowers
Sam’s Sunflowers patch on Hayling Island usually opens in July for your chance to pick some gorgeous sunflowers. For £5 per person you can pick up to six sunflowers. There’s no need to pre-book tickets for this sunflower patch and for little ones there’s also a maize maze and occasional tractor/trailer rides (additional charges apply). Keep an eye on the Sam’s Sunflowers’ website for regular updates on when the patch will open.
