Four Easy Steps to Participate!

  1. Sign up and plant your sunflower
  2. Describe your garden
  3. Time how long it takes 5 bees to visit your sunflower plant
  4. Enter your data online or send us your form.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the Great Sunflower Project. The first step is to create an account on this website. All you need is a valid email address. Then, select the level of participation that is right for you.

As soon as you create an account, we will send you free sunflower seeds. These are wild, native sunflowers (Helianthus annuus). These sunflowers can be grown in a pot on a deck or patio or in a garden. Click here for some advice on growing. If you are able to get your own seeds and want to send us data, please use the wild sunflower. We found ours at American Meadows. That ensures that we will be comparing apples to apples!

With your account, you can join our community discussions on our forum pages.

Better yet, you may participate in our study. Participating is fun and can be done in pots on your deck, your own garden, or any of our public gardens.
