About Buttonwood farms, Griswold, CT

The Farm In 2003 at the suggestion of a friend, planted a one acre field of sunflowers. As they began to blossom, we learned that people were coming from many miles away to admire and photograph them.

We planted the sunflowers for people to admire their beauty and to compliment our rural environment. Although the flowers were beautiful, we had not thought about what we were going to do with them. When the blooms expired, we used them as feed for our cows.

We felt that we could find a better use for the flowers, and in turn, have established the "Sunflowers for Wishes" fundraiser.

The fundraiser is to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut, a non-profit organization devoted to making wishes possible for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Beautiful image alison, and a wonderful idea for the kids. My mother would have loved to see this.... I remember several years ago she had my dad paint a giant sunflower on the garage door of the house... :)

Take care ~ James

From the first time I seen Vincent Van Gogh's paintings of sunflowers, I've loved them. I think he would like your picture. I know I do.

It took us about 2 hours to get up there, it is close to the casinos I think. You take 95 to 395 not too far from the Rhode Island border. They have already cut down the fields. I will cath up on your shots tomorrow.
