REI’s field of sunflowers now open to the public

WAUSAU – REI Engineering, Inc. has begun its annual Harvest of Sunshine community initiative in which it cultivates a field of sunflowers to create bouquets that are delivered to others in the community.

REI team members will cut and assemble sunflower bouquets on Aug. 14.

The sunflower field is also open to the public, free of charge. Those who visit the sunflower field are encouraged to pay this kindness forward by gifting a sunflower bouquet, donating a non-perishable food item to support Peyton’s Promise, or by performing a similar random act of kindness. Totes for Peyton’s Promise food donations are outside of REI’s front door.

Since 2019, the team at REI has cultivated a field of sunflowers to spread kindness and positivity throughout the community and to encourage a spirit of generosity.

The sunflower field is at 4080 N. 20th Ave., Wausau. Follow the marked parking and entry signs at the north end of the field, take shears, and vases, or use one of the complimentary flower bags provided by REI.
