PREMIUM Community Here comes the sun By McPherson Media Group Jan 30, 2023 The people at Eden Farm know how to grow sunflowers en masse, but a Kyabram boy knows how to grow really big ones. Ayden King, his mother Kaihla and his two brothers were at the weekend’s Sunflower Festival at Eden Farm, near Numurkah. Ayden planted one sunflower about two years ago, near the family’s cubby house, and it grew to about 2.5 metres and sported about 40 flower heads. Ayden, 11, is pictured with his brother Dylan, 6, at the Sunflower Festival, which is on again this weekend.
