Have a sunshine-filled morning people!
Last Wednesday, my peers and I planned a day trip to the famous Mariano's Blooming Agri-Tourism Park in Tupi, South Cotabato. It is an agri-tourism park filled with different varieties and colors of blooming flowers but is most famous for their sunflower garden as you can see from the photos below.
If you love sunflowers so much then this sunflower haven will definitely take your breath away. They also sell these flowers so you can take some home for your loved ones.
We went there around lunch time, so that was around noon and the heat of the sun is too strong. It was really hot and we forgot to take some umbrellas. Thus, I should say before heading out to this place, make sure you have your protection gears from the strong heat like hats, caps, and umbrellas.
In my opinion, sunflowers are very pleasing to look at no matter what mood you are in because for me they signify bliss, euphoria, ecstasy and all the words synonymous with happiness. They feed on strong rays of sunlight because as their name implies, they are sunflowers and they need a strong exposure to sunlight to bloom fully.
Even though sunflowers aren't my favorite, I guess I could still say sunflower would be my happy flower. Also, I gotta say sunflowers are best to see during the summer season.
If you are just looking for an Instagram-worthy place then this is the one for you. We weren't able to explore the whole lot and take a look at the other varieties of flowers because it was really hot and I fell into a very unfortunate situation -- my shoes got stuck in the mud. So watch your steps if you don't want to ruin your trip early.
We paid 50 pesos for entrance fee because we are adults. As for the kids, I think it was around 30 pesos. The price is not a bad thing if you are really hyped to see this sunflower haven. As what I have observed, they are starting to develop the place because you could really see workers constructing several structures for improvement.
No foods and drinks allowed but you and your family can dine in their restaurant.
You can also buy one or two of these cute succulent plants to decorate your bedroom, apartment or restaurant for a reasonable price. It won't exceed a hundred, I suppose.
And yes, this sunflower is as big as my face.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend ahead.
