Our Story

Secret Sunflower Project was established in 2016 with one mission: to spread more happiness into our society. A sunflower symbolizes happiness, and by planting more of them we bring their symbol to life. 

​

We encourage others to come together and reciprocate our pay it forward message regardless

how big or small. A percentage of our profits support these acts of kindness. We donate sunflower seeds to schools and after school programs with every purchase. 

​

Our project is to connect people from all over and have them come together

to plant happiness. As of now we have 15 states and 7 countries planting and are hoping to get all 50 states on

board as well as every continent.
