It's that time of year for the Clarksville 3rd Annual Sunflower Market at Mary's Land Farm. Take your family to visit 6-acres and dozens of varieties of sunflowers in bloom ranging rom 2ft tall to over 12ft tall. The market is the largest, most diverse pick-your-own sunflower patch in Maryland and it's right here in Howard County!
When you visit you will see several different colors and shades of sunflower blooms; from classic summer yellow to orange and deep reds, and even pale yellow to almost-white! The sunflower field is divided into several sections using manicured walking paths. In addition, the farm has planted sections of wildflowers to promote the presence of some of our favorite pollinators, like butterflies and honey bees. During the month of August, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the many blooms and take advantage of this unique opportunity. This is a perfect outing for family photos and selfies so be sure to bring your camera!
While you are there, you can:
-Eat, drink, and be merry from the food trucks
-Listen to live music from local artists in the pavilion
-Shop from unique vendors
-Be on the lookout for “The Surprise!” These are sunflowers, but there is something unique about them – we’re not telling what! You’ll have to come and see for yourself!
It is hot in August in the sunflower field so it is recommended that you bring:
- Sunscreen, hat, sun protection
- Closed-toed shoes
- Water bottle
- Camera
- Picnic — if you’d like to enjoy eating and spending time in the grass among the sunflower blooms!
