Its beautiful, and heart wrenching at the same time. I highly recommend a visit, just check their website if you want a better idea of when the sunflowers are expected to be in full bloom.
Wonderful place! Too bad they are closing. Hopefully we will see the sunflowers field moved to an area nearby and continue the beautiful work!EDIT: thankfully they decided not to close and are staying at the same address!! 🎉
Such a beautiful placeEveryone one stayed 6inches away.
Maria sunflower garden is a heart felt place to visit. This foundation raise money for cancer. This is a great place to look and walk through the sunflowers and leave a note or prayer for someone you have lost or in fear of losing to cancer.
Amazing initiative, worthy to follow. We need more people like this in our planet.
A really nice field Such nice sunflowers. Such a good cause
This is a non profit organization that goes to child cancer. The field itself is free to roam. There is a stand thats sells apparel and accessories that goes to the Prayers From Maria Child Cancer Foundation. I love this sunflower field. I love the fact that you can write prayer dedication and post them on the sunflowers. Nice place to come and take pictures and give respect to those that werent as fortunate!! ♥️
Unfortunately our timing or information was not correct. We visited the fields in Avon today but could not see any plants at all. I was sure we could see the plants growing and maybe some in bloom. However there were empty fields except the signs, asmall shed and the small wooden bridge. Maybe another year. Please update for travelers.
Beautiful view with a beautiful message. The admission is free and you are welcome to make donations as you please and leave a note on a sunflower. It is quite heart touching to see all those young lives lost.
Beautiful Place. Nice initiative. Definitely worth a visit.
Beautiful!! Very peaceful, great place to take pictures with family or of scenery, Very tastefully decorated with the post and pictures of lives that have been infected with such a horrible illness. Educational. Will go again
Too bad I was driving too fast and running late to stop and get a closer look of this field of beautiful sun flowers growing. Great cause and inspiring for me to a field of sun flowers. This was interesting and unique instead of seeing corn growing all the time, everywhere I drive around
Add this to your bucket list. Definitely must see.
Awesome experience! See acres of sunflowers with attached prayer cards for the sick or those who have passed. Is peaceful and comforting to see so much love and caring.
Absolutely worth a visit when the flowers are in bloom, just an amazing sight in an unexpected place. Many families taking family photos there. A great cause too. Pictures of kids whove fought and lost make it a sad glad occasion.
As a photographer, this is one of my favorite spots in all of Cleveland! The field is absolutely gorgeous when it is in bloom, and all proceeds go to support childhood cancer research. Highly recommend! Images by Jennifer Elizabeth Photography
Awesome place to take pictures. Very humid in the afternoon so better to visit in the evening. Very scenic for child photo shoot. Parking is limited. It is free but they accept donations.
Beautiful and the volunteers are amazing
Such a beautiful place, so peaceful. God bless all our beautiful angels 🙏
First off - just go. Its donations based (unless shooting paid photography clients, and even then the photographer pass is also technically a donation and thus tax deductible) and supports research and awareness for a fantastic cause: stopping childhood cancer.Its a beautiful labrynth of sunflowers in a massive open field. Make a couple trips, take some photos at sunrise, afternoon, and sunset, and enjoy the calm.A bit less than 5/5 for a few reasons:- parking gets very full very fast at peak hours (aka the best photo times)- no bathrooms on-site (can be difficult if you are the photographer and have multiple clients coming in one day)- shade is very limited, as is seating- flowers are only in bloom for a short varying amount of time (the field owners cant quite help this though...)
Great place to visit during Summer times or around fall. The Sunflower field is big and not all sunflowers are same (quite natural/obvious). You have to explore a bit to find spots where Sunflowers provide beautiful backdrops or props for your photos!There are alos family events organized and professional photograph services available. So go-on, explore, and enjoy!!
I just went there to see some beautiful flowers. It was a Sad and happy time . Great photo opportunity just very sad to see all the children who lost their lives and theirs pictures throughout the field.. prayers prayers and donate.9-25-17
Absolutely gorgeous, take some sunblock.
Disappointed to hear the rumor that this was the last year for the sunflower field. I absolutely love to come photograph this place. I love what it represents I love that it brings the community together. My children love the flowers and the chance to explore here.
If you have flour allergies this probably isnt the place for you, unless you take a ton of antihistamines Allegra or whatever it is that keeps you from sneezing your head off Over Flowers. Now that being said this is a stunningly beautiful place to stop and take the family for photos. We had a wonderful time Meandering The Groves of giant sunflowers. Bathrooms are Porta-Johns just a fair warning. Working is a dirt lot so be careful if you drive a low-slung sports car. Overall cant wait to go back.
I am absolutely appalled that people are giving this organization a bad review because they werent impressed with the sunflowers. Let me give all of you a little background.This is a non-profit organization raising money for the Children’s Glioma Cancer Foundation.This all started due to the unfortunate circumstances of a beautiful little girl named Maria who had DIPG and sadly passed away.Blame Avon for the smaller field. They used to have a giant field of beautiful sunflowers and Avon let large companies purchase these lots to build stores on. They are currently trying to find somewhere to relocate to continue the sunflower field.Sunflowers only bloom beautifully during a certain time of year. If you go towards the end of the season, yes, they will be wilted.THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE SUNFLOWERS!!! Yes the flowers are beautiful and make for a wonderful photo opportunity...THIS IS ABOUT RAISING AWARENESS AND MONEY FOR RESEARCH TO FIGHT CHILDHOOD CANCERS!!!How horrendous of a person do you have to be to actually give this wonderful organization a 1 star review, disgusting people.
Always a beautiful place to go and reflect on loved ones lost to cancer 🧡
I drove two and a half hours to see this sorry looking excuse for a Sunflower field, let the developer make something worth while out of that property! Prayers dont require sentiment to have POWER at any given spot! Worship THE CREATOR not the creation. PEACE
Such a beautiful way to honor those with cancer, won the battle against cancer and to those who lost their battle. ❤
Sunflowers are the symbol of hope. With everything going on in the world right now we need some hope. Thank you for what your doing. Grow the movement!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻
A most place visit during the spring and summer. It is a charitable organization that has been doing this for several years and a pretty place to take pictures with the family. It is depressing to see the kids whobhave passed regarding cancer but thats what planting the seed is all about. they routinely have activities for families to see and visit like fireworks on 4th of July and pictures with heros. Go there and pick up a schedule of the activities and enjoy the field of su flowers and perhaps make a donation.
Beautiful, but also sad. Great place for photos, but wear good shoes bc it gets muddy, sometimes. Also, try not to go when its super hot outside.
I always stop by here after getting my welding supplies. Most of the time its just a patch of dirt or little plants, but if you come in late summer its basically a guaranteed answered prayer.
Such a beautiful, heartwarming place. Plus, when the shop didnt have the size of the shirt I wanted, they offered to mail it to me at no shipping cost.
Awesome place for pictures. Just remember why it is there and toss a donation thier way. It goes to a good cause.
What a beautiful field, got amazing pictures of the family and donated to a great cause. God bless Marias family for all they are doing for pediatric brain tumor awareness and research.
Beautiful field of sunflowers with a very poignant cause. Raising awareness for childhood cancer. An experience not to be missed.
Gut wrenching and heartwarming at the same time. To see the lives of the young people taken is difficult but the flowers are beautiful. Take a second and contribute to get your free sunflower seeds. Spread the message of hope.
What a beautiful blessing to share with others! Prayer cards are free and shared with vistors- I was able to leave a prayer for my father on a sunflower, and it was an amazing sight to see how many prayers were shared throughout the field. Prayers for Maria!!!
Simply a beautiful place that also gives you a deeply moving perspective on how fortunate and precious your life and family is to you.
Beautiful, touching place when the sun flowers blossom in the fall. Nothing to look at any other time. Might be moving to a new location in 2020!
Beautiful way to honour the children 🌻.
It was too spiritual I have no words Its just absolutely amazing God bless the world
Beautiful place. Wonderful to see the flowers in memory of all those children
Very beautiful and Free
Such a beautiful spot for the soul. It is such a breathtaking spot yet a place that parents made to remember their daughter and bring awareness to childhood cancer.
Im almost 50 years Survivor and seeing this brought me to tears .. made me question why Im alive please if you ever get a chance and its still there please go and see this beautiful place that they created for this beautiful little girl and her remembrance
One of the best sunflower fields in Ohio! I anxiously wait for them to bloom to go see them. Perfect for landscape photographers like myself!
What a beautiful place to visit. Please stop and make a donation or at least buy a hat or tee shirt.
It is a really nice sunflower field and for a great cause! I have no complaints. Please go if you were thinking about it.
Beautiful and inspiring place. Be sure to leave a donation when you visit!
Best place there is to relax and pray.
Absolutely loved it here ♡
This place was absolutely beautiful and for such a great cause I loved it for my 1st time thank you
Very impressive memorial for a little girl who passed away from brain cancer several years ago.
The sunflower stands for a lot of inspirational stories.
I hope they don’t move bc this foundation is beautiful the meaning behind it and the landscape of it all. It makes something so sad and painful into something so beautiful!!
It is a great memorial to those who have passed away because of cancer.
Such a beautiful place... God bless all the children and there family...
The sunflowers are all dead as you see in the pictures. Unfortunately, the land has been sold to developers with plans for future construction.
Very touching field of beauty 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Sunflowers all over the place in memory of Maria, a young girl who died of brain cancer. Great photo op with somany sun flowers!
Such a heartwarming and beautiful spot. The message is incredible and touching!
It was so meaningful and beautiful in every way. Im definitely going there again! 💗
Amazing....a most see...big business is threating to develop it....what a shame why cant we have places flowers can grow instead of gas station and McDonalds every where
Very nice field. The sunflowers are a little short this year but still very beautiful!
What better cause can you think of than fighting childhood cancer?
Beautiful place to visit. Parking situation is absolutely horrid. Be prepared for a wait or a walk.
A pilgrimage to walk amongst Marias sunflowers has become a yearly event to support a very worthy cause.
Very beautiful 1st time I went. Will make sure to stop every year.
Wonderful experience of Hope!
Such a special and beautiful place. So peaceful.
Beautiful flower memorial for those gone too soon.
Definitely worth seeing. I would love to go when they just bloomed too
With a heavy heart, we strolled through the beautiful field of sunflowers. Awe-inspiring.
Beautiful place. My wife loves sunflowers
Absolutely beautiful - definitely depicts an atmosphere of peace and serenity.
I am thrilled to finally know why everyone has planted sunflowers this year!!
It was SOOOO BEAUTIFUL and sad at the same time seeing all those babies.
Good cause but the sunflowers were dried from the heat and it was hard walking.
A place to reflect. Incredible, sunflowers as far as the eye can see!
It was a wonderful day and in a beautiful field of sunflowers!!
Gorgeous field. I love sunflowers and what a good cause.
What a beautiful tribute to children fighting cancer or who have lost their battle with cancer.

Review №1
2020-09-06Such a noble concept! The first few steps into the farm....my heart was aching. All those little kids. May their soul rest in peace. Then I realized that their souls are resting in peace. I could feel them. It was like walking in heaven!Here you can see the memory of kids placed in the field who lost their lives to cancer and you can write and tie your own note to the plants in the first section of the farm.I am saying a prayer for all the people out there who are fighting cancer and I really wish this cancer disease will vanish from earth for good.There are a lot of sections on this field with slightly different varieties of sunflowers. Youll feel like a seeing a thousand suns! Its a good place to visit with your family as well! Field is maintained well and its safe too.If you get a chance, you should visit this farm and contribute something to the cause. This farm is located right near the i90 at Avon just 20mi west of Cleveland. Theres enough parking space as well.There were 100s of people there when we visited yesterday, but you can keep enough safe distance with other people.

2020-10-22Must see if in Northeast Ohio! Make sure you go earlier than Fall (when these pictures were taken). You want to catch them at full bloom. There are still a few beautiful ones around in the fall but amazing concept and gorgeous sight to take in. What a great purpose. Pro Tip: go near sunset for an amazing photo op or selfie.

2018-09-03Such a beautiful tribute to the little spirits who have lost their lives to cancer. Its calming to walk through and see so many written notes of love and prayers to ones who have lost their life or are still battling or even have beaten cancer. I pray they are able to raise the funds they need to continue with a field like this. It would be neat to be able to buy the seeds of the flowers to grow at our own houses. Go support this wonderful foundation.

2020-09-27A great experience for a worth while cause. Be sure to donate at PrayersforMaria.org and read the full story there. Plenty of parking. Plenty of sunflowers. A great time for kiddos to have a jaunt thru the sunflowers. Be sure to wear long pants to prevent the prickers from getting you if you want to go of the beaten path.

2020-09-13It was too good. The only thing is you will become sad once you look at the young people who died so early. Sunflowers are awesome. It also has a small gift show and a food truck. You should purchase something from there as it will go to the donation for cancer patients.
