PYO Sunflower Farms near Berkshire

August is officially sunflower season and this year and it is going to be a good one! 

Nothing says summer & happiness more than a field of sunflowers stretching out ahead of you and the kiddies running around the fields. We have pulled together a round up of some of the best sunflower patches near Berkshire. If you know of any we haven’t mentioned please let us know and we will add them to our guide.

Our top tip for visiting all sunflower fields is to take your own secateurs as they can be tricky to cut and not always available to borrow (We've been caught out by this before and trust us it doesn't end well). Trainers are also advisable!
