Sunflowers

To add some extra colour to your garden and a fun challenge for your kids, why not grow some sponsored sunflowers?

Sponsored Sunflowers

Sunflowers are a great addition to any garden and are easy enough for kids to grow, often with very impressive results. You can have lots of fun growing sunflowers: they could grow up the side of your classrooms, line the entrance to school, or make a fun border to a composting area! They are also grown by many Send a Cow African farmers as the stalks can be used for firewood and the seeds can be used in a cow 'cake', a favourite treat for African cows!

If you’d like to grow sunflowers, we’ve put together a 'Sponsor a Sunflower' kit to make things easy for you. Children can grow them, find out why farmers use them, and raise money for African families at the same time – perfect!

Ordering Sunflower Kits

Our kits contain: two seed types; 10 coir pots; information on sunflowers, a mini-hessian sack for your most promising specimen, and a sponsor form. Kits are available at £5 each* - use our order form or call us on 01225 874 222 to order and find related resources, such as a gallery of pictures and some facts all about the flower.

The tallest sunflowers grown at home or at school can be entered into our African Gardens Competition; send your official entry form in by 19th September!

*Please note that we can only send our African Gardens kits to addresses in the UK.
