Poppy & Fern is a sustainable flower farm and florist cultivating the slow flower movement at The Farm in Byron Bay.
The call of the flowers has always been strong for our Jess, aka Poppy. From crafting floral gifts as a young girl, to work experience in a florist as a teenager, the path was always clear. Over the last 12 years, Jess soaked in the wisdom of leaders in floristry, permaculture and horticulture. She is a woman who grows and creates with incredible heart, soul and integrity. Along the way, her love
for fresh dahlias awakened a vision of owning her own flower farm where she could design with locally grown blooms. Sculpting breathtaking botanical designs was just the beginning. Now, she’s living the dream planting, growing, and designing amongst a community of like-minds on The Farm in the Byron Bay hinterland. For Jess, life is best when she’s connected to the land. It’s why she wakes up every day to walk the Field, breathing the same air as our flowers, and stopping to watch them germinate. You might see her kneeling to the earth to scoop up the rich volcanic Byron Bay soil and letting it run between her fingers. If you ask her, she’ll tell you there’s magic in that soil.

Echinacea - this amazing plant is well known for its medicinal healing properties but did you know it also has beautiful flower that can last up to 10 days in a vase.
I get asked all the time what my favourite flower is, as much as I don’t play favourites (do you pick your favourite child?) these babes are definitely high up on the list. Once petals drop off it’s also cool to use just the centre seed pod (which will dry out) to add an earthy element to designs. &design

This week in the field 🌿
It’s been a hot one! They say if you make it through your second summer farming you’ll be here for life, well this is my 6th summer on The Farm so I guess I’m here to stay :)
By mid December each year things are starting to get a bit wild. Don’t get me wrong summer flowers are amazing! Everything is absolutely pumping, it’s big, showy and abundant but also the grass 😳
How are you surviving?? Believe me you are not alone!
