Hello! I’m Poppy and I run Dusky Slug Flowers, a one acre flower farm based in Robertsbridge, East Sussex.
With a degree in ecology and experience working alongside small farms and building a better food system with Natoora I caught the farming bug in a big way. In 2025 I couldn’t ignore the call anymore, ditching life in the city to set up my own small flower filled oasis.
I use organic, agro-ecological practices to grow an abundance of cut stems for pollinators, for boosting soil biology and to bring beauty to all you lovely people.
Our seasonal stems are available by the bucket load for D.I.Y weddings and to retailers, florists, restaurants and events spaces in London, Hastings, Rye and the South East. You can also pick up directly from the farm.
Head to our BUY FLOWERS page for more info on how to get your hands on some.
Why Dusky Slug?
Dusky Slug is an actual slug! And this guy is extra good and not much of a pest to living plants, it’s a dab hand at breaking down dead plants and helps in nutrient cycling, without detritivores like this we’d be up to our eyeballs in dead matter. The Dusky Slug is at the heart of the ethos on the farm; representing the little guys and reminding us to take notice of the small and not so sexy things, as they often hold the key to a happy ecosystem, and also (just maybe) the key to our own happiness…
