EDITED Tuesday, Aug 19:
The complexity and dynamic nature of the environment has us in awe yet again! The sunflowers have already progressed to seed development.

What does this mean? The field now offers a different beauty – overflowing in many shades of green – attracting many birds to the ripening seeds.
We still plan to hold special access to the Sunflower Field this Thursday, Aug 21, 4-8pm, for you to enjoy the current views of the sunflowers. Join us for an unbelievable look at Mother Nature.

It’s time to come clean. Irvine has a lush field of sunflowers on property 
that we don’t often share with the public. While visible from a distance, we keep the area fenced to restrict deer access. Now in full bloom, we can’t contain ourselves and want to provide unique special access! Join us for the afternoon/evening inside the gate for up-close views and 
opps with the sunflowers.
