It started with a farmer named Melissa, a truck full of flowers, and a field behind the table she sells them from.

Who writes this
I'm Kellie Hartwell. I write and maintain this site myself, from Los Angeles. Before this, there was a company; it's gone now, and the story of why is its own page. What survived the company is the part that was true from the start: the growers, and the belief that flowers are better when you know the person who grew them.
Poppy Fielding doesn't buy flowers. It builds relationships with the people who grow them. Every entry in the directory is someone I know, have visited, or can vouch for, and every entry says what I actually know about their sourcing. No more, no less. If you'd like to work with any of them, go straight to them, and tell them Poppy Fielding sent you.

In person
A few times we have set up a bouquet bar at Anthropologie in Century City. People build a small bunch from flowers we picked up that are locally grown this week, and they leave knowing which stall it came from. Most of the names in this directory were handed to us across a table like that one.
Why local matters, in two minutes.
These are more than petals.
They are flowers grown with love.
