Terrier Race Against Time (a charity set up to provide support to all people diagnosed with breast cancer in the Tairawhiti area) was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to sell PYO Sunflowers in February 2025. Geordie and Caroline Witters (longtime supporters of our charity) have planted sunflowers in between their young citrus trees for four years running and allow us to set up a stall to sell them for $3 per stem. It’s such a fun day for families to come and roam around the sunflowers, take photos and take a few sunflowers home with them! We made $6500 over the two weekends, which is a great help towards our packs that we provide to every person with breast cancer upon diagnosis.
There is something about a sunflower that makes you smile.
