If you’ve been craving a wholesome summer outing, consider this your sign to plan a cute day trip. Just an hour from Melbourne’s CBD, the World’s Largest Sunflower is set to bloom at Mornington Green Living Legacy Gardens – and it’ll only be open to the public for one golden weekend.
Unveiled this month, the colossal floral installation is made up of 3,000 individual sunflowers, arranged into a jaw-dropping display that’s designed to stop you in your tracks (and fill your camera roll with a whole lot of yellow). Set within Mornington Green’s tranquil botanical gardens, the artwork is where nature and creativity collide – offering a distinctly uplifting day out for families, couples and anyone in need of a dose of sunshine.
But there’s more to this spectacle than its sheer size. Mornington Green is part of Living Legacy Forest, a world-first initiative that’s redefining how we remember the people we love. Here, processed ashes are used to nourish the soil and support the growth of trees, creating living, breathing memorials that continue to grow over time. It’s a powerful idea, woven into a space that feels calm, hopeful and connected to the world’s natural cycles.
The World’s Largest Sunflower will be open from Friday, February 20 to Sunday, February 22, with limited viewing hours across the weekend – so planning ahead is essential. Tickets are $10 for adults, with free entry for kids under 12, making it an easy, affordable summer adventure.
