Proud Members of the British Florist Association

We’re Proud to Be Members of the Flowers and Plants Association

Championing British blooms and the wellbeing they bring

We’re proud to be members of the Flowers and Plants Association (F&PA)—the UK’s leading voice for the floral and horticultural industry. As a small, independent florist passionate about sustainability, local flowers, and the joy that blooms bring to everyday life, we’re delighted to be part of a community that shares our values.

What is the Flowers and Plants Association?

Founded in 1984, the F&PA is the only UK organisation dedicated to promoting the use and appreciation of flowers and plants year-round. From supporting British growers and encouraging seasonal sourcing, to leading national awareness campaigns like British Flowers Week, the F&PA plays a key role in shaping how flowers are grown, sold, and celebrated across the country.

They also do vital work in education, research, and policy—advocating for sustainability in floristry and helping the public understand the emotional and environmental power of flowers.

Why this matters to us

At Hip Poppy, we believe flowers aren’t just decorative—they’re powerful. They comfort us during hard times, mark our most joyful milestones, and quietly enhance the spaces we live and work in. Being part of the F&PA means joining a wider movement that sees flowers not just as a luxury, but as essential to human connection and wellbeing.

We’re especially aligned with the F&PA’s focus on British-grown blooms. Sourcing locally where possible isn’t just better for the planet—it helps us create designs that feel authentic to the seasons and the stories of the people we serve.

What you can do

• Choose local and seasonal flowers when you can—especially during British flower season.

• Support florists (like us!) who are committed to ethical and sustainable practices.

• Join the celebration during British Flowers Week in June—we’ll be sharing special designs and stories to mark the moment.

• Keep learning—follow the F&PA for updates on flower trends, wellbeing tips, and grower stories.

Flowers bring so much more than beauty—they ground us, connect us, and bring moments of meaning into the everyday. We’re thrilled to be part of an association that celebrates that truth—and to share it with you, bloom by bloom.
