  • Jenny Jenner: Turning a sunflower festival into a legacy cancer project
    Jun 7 2026

    Drought was crippling the family’s lucerne farm in 2020 when Russell Jenner brightened his wife Jenny’s day with a bunch of store-bought sunflowers. Unknowingly, he planted the seeds for Kalbar’s annual Sunflower Festival.

    Some key points:

    • The impact of drought on farming and water management
    • Managing festival logistics and visitor numbers
    • Supporting local community and tourism
    • Sunflowers: the cultivation process
    • The positive impact of sunflowers on well-being
