About the Boonah Hospital sunflower sphere

The Boonah Hospital Sunflower Sphere is a permanent sculpture created as part of the Kalbar Sunflowers community initiative. The sphere will feature 210 individually sponsored sunflowers, each engraved with a nominated name.

Once completed, the sculpture will be installed at Boonah Hospital, where it will stand as a symbol of generosity, gratitude and community connection.

Designed and handcrafted by local artists Wendy and Rob Badke, the sphere reflects the strength of the Scenic Rim community and the shared commitment to supporting local healthcare.

How your support makes a difference

Every sponsored sunflower helps fund upgrades to the gardens at Boonah Hospital. These outdoor spaces provide comfort, quiet reflection and connection to nature for patients, families and healthcare staff.

Your contribution helps create:

  • more welcoming outdoor environments

  • improved spaces for rest and recovery

  • a lasting tribute that celebrates local generosity

Production and engraving costs for the sculpture have been generously covered by Snap Fitness Redbank Plains and Scenic Rim Trophies Boonah, meaning your donation goes directly toward improving the hospital grounds.

How it works

1. Make a $100 donation
Secure your engraved sunflower by making a $100 donation in support of Boonah Hospital.

2. Enter your engraving name
As part of your donation, enter a simple engraving such as a person’s name, family name, workplace or organisation. Keeping engravings short helps ensure consistency across the sculpture.

3. We take care of the rest
Your sunflower will be included in the Boonah Hospital Sunflower Sphere and permanently installed at the hospital following its showcase at the 2026 Kalbar Sunflower Festival.
