Sunflower Maze

Did you know that the Bowden SunMaze is one of Canada’s original Sunflower Mazes?  That’s right, and there is nothing quite like the unique experience of navigating a field grown from 300,000 Smiling Sunflowers!  The Sunflower Maze is usually open from early August until mid October, however, if you want to come when it is blooming, it is best to visit during August, check our Facebook page for Bloom Updates.  Each year the maze tends to bloom at a different time and is largely affected by what kind of weather we get.

We planted 5 patches of sunflowers this year, each around 2-3 acres.  Our goal was to extend the bloom from 7-14 days to 30-40 days.  We will have to wait to see how well this works, so definitely check out our facebook and instagram pages for up-to-date blooms. Ultimately the frost in early september will mark the end of the bloom period in the mazes, when that will come we don’t know..

Corn Maze

When we opened in 2006 there were only 4 other Corn Mazes in the Province, today there over 10. Our Maze is not the largest, and may not grow the tallest, but it is the only one grown without the use of Synthetic Fertilizers or Herbicides, and the only connected to a Sunflower Maze. Once we have our Organic Certification, we will have Canada’s Only Certified Organic Maze.

Tree Maze

We borrowed the idea of tree mazes from another Canadian Farm which boasts having 7 tree mazes.  It is not our goal to out number their mazes, however, the popularity of our first tree maze, grown from willows, prompted us to start 2 new tree mazes in the summer of 2015 to be grown from dog wood, cotoneaster & Lilac.

Patio Maze

Patio Mazes are deceivingly difficult.  Although they are only twice the size of a dinning room table, some of these little puzzles can take 10-15 minutes to solve.  Every couple years we add some more and currently have a total of 4.
