The annual Campoverde Sunflower Challenge has a winner, and it runs in the family. Pauline Barlow has won this year’s Sunflower Challenge with an impressive flower which measures 240cm tall. Pauline’s husband Peter was a winner two years ago, so they obviously have the magic touch.

When quizzed by James McAllister, the organiser of the competition, as to the secret of her success, Pauline said, “We keep it simple; we start the seeds off in pots and then transfer them into the ground. We water each night at the same time when the sun has gone down and we occasionally feed when we remember.”

Another reason for Pauline’s success can be seen in the photo below.  Abba their Golden Retriever is an avid digger and would have happily dug up the young flowers. Pauline’s husband Peter said, “We saw that Abba was taking an interest in the flowers so I had to erect a fence just to keep him out”.

The Sunflower Challenge has been run by Campoverde Church in the Community for over 5 years and the funds raised go towards their successful kids Summer Club. James McAllister said, “The people of Campoverde are very supportive of the Church and our work with children and the Sunflower Challenge is a fun way for everyone to get involved”.
