It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Sunflower season is one of my favorite seasons! Living in the flower city are you shocked I associate seasons with flowers? Here are some places to check out Sunflowers around Rochester, please keep in mind some may have entry fees.

Calkins Road & Clover Street
Around the corner of Calkins Road & Clover Street in Pittsford, there is always a Sunflower field but it's location frequently changes! In 2023 the field is on Calkins Road, West of Clover Street! Parking is only on the street and the speed limit is 45 MPH so use caution when visiting but this is a great free spot to see Sunflowers!
Pick'n Patch
A little east of Rochester in Stanley is Pick'n Patch! I had the pleasure of visiting Pick'n Patch last season for their Sunflower Festival and highly recommend it! Last year you could pick your own bouquet and they had many photo options (peep the bathtub!).
