A visit to a sunflower farm is a great way to immerse yourself in beauty and nature. Add in the whimsy that a sunflower field brings to every photo, and you’re sure to remember your visit long after you leave. If you’ve found yourself wondering “Are there sunflowers near me?” we are thrilled to say yes! Whether you’re looking for a short drive or willing to make a day of it, we know great sunflower fields near Burlington, Hamilton and Niagara that are open to the public!
Many of these locations offer pick-your-own flowers and have more to choose from than beautiful sunflowers. The ideal time to visit is August to early September, but the hot weather will help the flower fields bloom earlier.
