The Most amazing Sunflower field you will ever see
The most amazing sunflower field is located in Knoxville Tennessee. 70 acres of sunflowers located at Forks of the River is a sight to see. Isn’t it gorgeous? Sunflower fields, as far as the eye could see.
The Most amazing Sunflower field you will ever see
And it wasn’t by accident that I got to witness this sunflower explosion. It seems that I was at the right place at the right time. Every two years ( due to crop rotation) the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency host a sunflower festival on 70 acres at a local park called Forks in the River in the Knoxville area. It just so happened, that I was in East Tennessee during that time at my sisters lake house.
The 70 acres of sunflowers provide food for several species of birds, according to TWRA.
You know my love for sunflowers goes deep. Every year I grow my own sunflowers, but this takes it to a whole new level, and provides some inspiration for my own garden of sunflowers….one day.
Even on a cloudy overcast day the blooms made everything so much brighter. If only I had a pair of scissors!

Wow what an amazing sight! So lucky that you went at the right time. Thanks for sharing.
they were absolutely breathtaking. hope you are having a great week!
I’m sure that was a sight to behold. They have fields of them up in the north Ga. mountains, too. I don’t know if it’s every year or every other, but we just happened to see them one year while driving up there.
this is the first time I have ever seen so many. I really wish I had my scissors and could snip a few. hope you are having a great week and having ‘fun’ with that bathroom reno.
I love sunflowers too, being from Kansas that is the state flower ..that is prettiest field I’ve ever seen, thanks for sharing. Here in Indiana they grow them too, to make sunflower oil ..pretty pretty..
thanks for coming by to enjoy them Kathy!
These are gorgeous and your photography captured the true essence. The sunflower is the Kansas state flower, and can be seen there mile after mile! Never expected to see them in Tennessee!!
Thanks for sharing this cheer!

Wow! What a beautiful sight! I was in the Knoxville area not too long ago…I must have crossed the lake your sister lives on!
Oh, I love sunflowers!! This field is gorgeous. Near me in eastern nc a farmer has fields that are sold for bird seeds. It is a beautiful sight each year. Sunflowers are happy faces saying “I love you “………thats what I think.
Wow, amazing. xo Laura
