Sunflowers are here
Griswold — People wander through the sunflower field at Buttonwood Farm on Thursday evening.
The farm hosts the Sunflower for Wishes fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut that begins July 21 and runs through July 29. Bouquets of five sunflowers will be given for a $10 donation while supplies last, and all proceeds of sunflower sales go directly to Make-A-Wish. According to the Buttonwood web site, since 2004 Sunflowers for Wishes has raised money for Make-A-Wish Foundation Connecticut to help fulfill the special wishes of seriously ill children. To date the family has raised well over $1 million from the sale of T-shirts, cards, sunflower bouquets and tickets for hayrides through the fields.
