A Record-Breaking Year

Over the summer months, our amazing community of customers headed to our vibrant yellow field of pick-your-own sunflowers. With your help, we were able to raise a record-breaking total of £6,542 for our amazing local charity, Hospiscare, with a running total of £38,554.75 raised over the past 12 years.

Michael Dart comments: “We have been overwhelmed by the generosity to help make our Pick-Your-Own Sunflowers for Hospiscare a record-breaking year. From our brilliant customers who have come to pick them, to the Pearce Seeds who donated the seeds for planting - you have all helped us to give a much-needed donation to a local charity that’s so close to many of our hearts.”

This year has been very different, with visitors on staycations and locals really taking some time to appreciate what is on their doorstep. Everyone seems to have gone back to enjoying the simpler things in life; wondering around the fields, breathing in the fresh Devon air and enjoying the beautiful Estuary views.

James Dart comments: “Our Sunflowers not only brighten up your day but provide much needed food for wildlife and under threat bees. Once the they die down, they are enjoyed by birds, who feast on the seeds. They are an important part of our sustainability practices and passion for looking after local nature.”

Hospiscare offers free support and expert care for those with a terminal diagnosis in the local Devon community and provides a vital source of support of their families at times of real need.

The fund-raising hasn’t stopped yet though. Our Amazing Maize Maze is still open with all proceeds going to Estuary League of Friends; another brilliant local charity who look after the elderly and vulnerable in our community. They care for those in need of comfort and support.
