Sunflower House

Sunflower House at Billings Farm

Our Annual Sunflower House at Billings Farm & Museum invites you to stroll through hallways formed by over 100 varieties of sunflowers and peruse the rooms of tall stalks with large blooms above you. This maze-like display of nature's shining faces is a truly unique experience.

Gourdwalk

The Gourdwalk in Kelly Way Gardens

Step into the Gourdwalk and instantly be immersed into a funky world of green! Stroll along this tunnel to admire the hanging varieties of gourds and their abstract shapes. Kids will love to chase each other through the path, dodging the all-natural decor. This is a perfect shady spot to stop and have a snack for the whole family. 

The Gourdwalk grows into a tunnel all summer. Full coverage is typically achieved by Mid-August and remains an immersive experience through October. The Gourdwalk transforms into a spooky tunnel full of drying leaves in late fall after a hard frost.
