The famous maze opened last February 15, since then, an average of 1,500 visitors a day invade the destination. The craze drew attention to tourists from different parts of the country and even to foreigners.
Temporarily Closing
In an interview, a staff of Allied Botanical Corporation, owner of A-Maze-Ing told ABS-CBN News that the maze will temporarily close because of the withering of sunflowers.
“Fully mature na kasi ‘yong mga sunflowers, tapos umulan pa ng malakas noong isang araw kaya naglaglagan na ‘yong mga petals,” the staff said.
Despite the temporary halt of service, the Allied Botanical Corporation assured their future visitors that the farm will re-open by the latter parts of March. The have to replace the withered and damaged sunflowers and it takes time, according to them.
They posted a public announcement on Facebook saying that the plants have been stepped and sat on by some tourists. Due to this, they will have to close the Garden and revive the damaged wonders.
