Heart View Center
Arlee, Montana
Mission Mountains, Sunflowers and a Long Love Story!
The HEART VIEW CENTER is located near ARLEE, MONTANA, next to 240 acres of open space, which includes the certified organic COMMON GROUND FARM and forested upland and river bottoms. This surrounding open space allows access to the JOCKO RIVER.
It is truly amazing to be immersed in the ah-inspiring Mission Mountains! You can't help but be overcome with a deep respect. And the turning of the leaves littered the mountains with yellows and golds, just barely turning with the season.
The colors and location were a perfect fit for Sonja's Harvest vision. Sonja grew the magnificently colored sunflowers herself - in her front yard. She crafted the dried arrangements from the sunflowers and wheat and encompassed them in rustic galvanized buckets. She meticulously made all of the runners - and the flower girl dresses! The bride had a vision and the determination to pull it off.
Thank you Dawn Alicia Photography for the gorgeous shots!
