For photos you will cherish forever, you can book a photography session and take pictures in front of the gorgeous flowers.
Did you know it is the year of the sunflower?
The National Garden Bureau is recognizing the celebrated flower during 2021, and if you want to join in, we have a day trip you should put on your to-do list this summer.
The big, beautiful blooms can be found at the J&B Flower Patch, just south of Preston.
At the flower patch, you can create a bouquet of flowers, and the farm will provide everything you need. It costs $20 for adults and $10 for children, owner Bobbie Fox said.
If you want to just go and enjoy the atmosphere, that’s free. The patch offers a wide variety of sunflowers, cosmos and zinnias. You can also book a photography session and take pictures in front of the gorgeous blooming flowers.
“My husband and I are both school teachers. This was our summer hobby,” Fox said. “We have three boys and two bulldogs. We absolutely love planting flowers, meeting new people and sharing the fruits of our labor. This is a two-man operation and we love doing it. It’s quality time together doing something we enjoy!”
At J&B Flower Patch, the farm will provide all you need to create a unique bouquet.

Gallery: Grandmillennial trend makes vintage home decor fresh again
Go retro
What’s a “Grandmillennial”? It’s a youthful fresh take on “granny decor,” according to HGTV, and it’s trending as a reaction to modern minimalism. Get the look and the feeling by incorporating a few touches often associated with Grandma’s house, including cozy accents, pretty florals, ruffles and nostalgic throwback details such as needlepoint.
Grand Millennial
Making a statement: A felted suede camel chair and ottoman with brown piping ($599) and a needlepoint pillow ($39.50) create a nostalgic but cozy corner without trying too hard.
Grand Millennial
Pretty in pink: Although grandmillennial style may seem like a random hodgepodge, sticking with a central color scheme keeps the design from looking out of control. This scene at Mustard Seed Consignment, 5800 S. Lewis Ave., is perfectly curated, with a floral toile sofa ($1,231), a pair of regency chairs ($1,400) and a collectible wool rug ($4,830).
Grand Millennial
Flower power: Inherited china can be a conversation piece when displayed properly. This Mikasa floral set ($29.25) at Round the House, 4941 S. Peoria Ave., is showcased in an old lighted curio secretary cabinet ($525).
Grand Millennial
Packing a punch: An array of ornate knick-knacks ramps up the style element, such as this canister set ($49.50) and elephant figurines ($22) at Mustard Seed.
Grand Millennial
Out of the blue: A clever way to introduce more color is by reviving a weary piece, like this recovered channel back chair ($325) with a paisley throw pillow ($32) at Round the House.
Grand Millennial
Take a seat: Patterned pieces in excellent condition for their age bring a cool vintage flair, like this empire-style piano or dressing table stool ($229) at American Heritage Antiques, 101 E. Main St. in Jenks.
