More than a million sunflowers are in bloom at Battles Farm in Girard

More than a million sunflowers are in bloom at the Battles Farm in Girard.

The sunflowers were planted as a project of the Hagen History Center, which operates the historic 130-acre farm in Girard Borough. Now in full bloom, the flowers stretch along Walnut Street from the walking trail south of the farm's Yellow House, north beyond the Battles Farm's White House, and west to Myrtle Street.

"There are sunflowers as far as the eye can see — 1.2 million of them," said Pam Parker, project manager for the Hagen History Center. "Literally hundreds of people have been taking pictures and enjoying the view."

The fields are stunning, said Hagen History Center Executive Director Cal Pifer. "The sunflowers are all chest or head height. When you look across them, it's like a carpet of yellow."
