The Directory

Help us grow the directory

Local flowers.
Worldwide connections.

Find locally grown flowers and locally owned flower businesses that support small farms. Poppy Fielding is a free, open directory of the people growing and selling flowers close to home. Every name goes in.

Who grows your flowers?

Recommend a farm or florist you love. Know a grower who could use some love? Give us the name.

Are you the grower?

Put yourself forward. Farmers, small flower growers, women-owned and minority-owned flower businesses, and florists who do weddings and special events: a listing is how people who would rather buy direct, from florists and shops to event planners, find you. We sell nothing, ship nothing, and take no cut. We make you findable.

What the markers mean

PF Verified

A real person went there, was treated well, and thought to recommend them. That's the whole test. No seal doesn't mean a grower fell short of anything. It means nobody has made the trip yet.

Added by a reader

Someone who isn't me put this one forward. I haven't been, and I'm trusting them, which is the deal, stated plainly rather than buried. Go, and tell me what you find.

The sourcing label

Whether a grower grows what they sell, buys some of it, or imports it. It describes; it never ranks. A family farm that also imports is a different thing from one that doesn't. Not a lesser one.

🌿 Green practices: their words

The farm publishes that it grows without herbicides or pesticides, and claims no certification. Certification costs money and paperwork a one-acre farm often can't spare, which is not the same as growing badly. The badge links to what they said; I haven't inspected anyone's soil.

🌱 Organic: their words

Shown only where a farm says so themselves, and the badge links to where they say it. Organic is a regulated term, and a wrong claim would land on the grower rather than on me, so this site never makes that claim on anyone's behalf.

Who writes this

I'm Kellie Hartwell, in Los Angeles, and I write it myself. Poppy Fielding doesn't sell anything and doesn't take a cut. More about that here.
