“It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.”

This second lockdown is tough for all of us in so many different ways. For single people, it's blurred days and nights of loneliness and isolation, and for families it's never ending work, parenting and remote learning in a precarious and tense balance. We need a circuit breaker. We need something to focus on that gives us hope. We need a way to connect, to show each other that we are in this together, that we care for each other and our children, that we know we will get through this and come out the other side resilient and strong.
So how do we stay strong in this time? How can we communicate that we care when we are stuck in our homes, unable to even smile at a neighbour with our mask-covered faces?
Well, how about with Sunflowers! Sunflowers are an enduring symbol of hope and happiness. They grow a single flower in isolation that shifts to focus on the light. In these times we all need to focus on the light, to keep positive, like a field of sunflowers in the sun.
Playground Ideas has supported communities for over a decade to create beautiful stimulating play spaces for over 2 million children in 143 countries, and now is the time to extend that play space to all. We ALL need a beautiful place to play, to walk, to breathe, and we want to join with Australians to fill our front yards, nature strips and empty lots with sunflowers this Spring.
Playground Ideas is asking all Australians, particularly Victorians, to support Playground Ideas, and each other, by planting Sunflowers where they can be viewed and enjoyed by others. We do this as an act of hope and solidarity with our neighbours. We will get through this together.
