Sunflower Days
July 1, 2017 @ 8:00 am - July 15, 2017 @ 8:00 am
Artists, environmentalists, and butterfly enthusiasts are invited to visit the Ecosystem Farm at Piscataway Park and walk through its 1+ acre Sunflower patch. This beautiful living display of all natural flowers is both a cover crop to support pollinators and reduce weeds, and forage for heritage breed livestock. The Ecosystem Farm is a leisurely quarter mile walk from the Visitor Center to the back gate via the Pumpkin Ash trail. The trail takes you through a multi-part ecosystem of forest and wetlands, ending at the farm. Parking is available on the farm for visitors needed assistance with mobility. To arrange a large group visit of 10 or more people, please call 301-283-2113.
