Jenny Jenner's inspired consideration of sunflowers as a drought alternative for her Scenic Rim farm has cumulated in not just a commercial success, but a driving force behind cancer care support in Queensland's south-east.

Jenny is the founder of the Kalbar Sunflower Festival, which welcomes 13,000 visitors over three days to Jenny’s farm every May in Queensland’s Scenic Rim.

 Here, guests wander through one million sunflowers grown across 10 hectares, enjoying scrumptious food and farm activities while raising vital funds for cancer care in south east Queensland.

In this delightful conversation with Emily Herbert, Jenny talks passionately about her rural lifestyle, her partnership with husband Russell and what drove her to continue working the farm after his devestating death.
