An eye-catching sight, the roadside display features mainly zinnias. Why zinnias? Not only are they colorful, but they can withstand summer heat and drought.

In addition to vibrantly-colored blooms, there are a handful of sculptures – all of which have been crafted from recycled and upcycled metal.

There’s much more to see than wildflowers and sculptures, though. There’s also wildlife, such as birds and butterflies.

You can view it from your car as you leisurely drive by, or you can get out and walk along the path that winds through the field.

We recommend the latter. Not only does walking through the field afford close-up views of the Instagram-worthy setting, but it means you’ll have a chance to pick some flowers, which is permitted.
