Meet Our Growers
Philadelphia Floral Guild brings together the top flower farms in our region. Collectively these growers have decades of experience farming flowers professionally. Most have been designers too so they know exactly what it’s like to juggle weddings and retail along with running a small business. They’ve now shifted their focus to produce flowers for PFG’s wholesale customers. Consider them an expert extension of your own team
Love ‘n Fresh Flowers
Jennie Love has owned and operated her 5 acre regenerative flower farm for 19 years. She’s considered by many to be the OG of the farmer-florist movement and she brings that design eye to her crop plans for PFG. Love ‘n Fresh Flowers specializes in unique foliages and perennial blooms, such as autumn anemones and baptisia, that can’t be found at the traditional wholesaler. Love 'n Fresh Flowers is the host of the PFG Hub.
Pinewood & Posies
Based in Paradise, PA, Pinewood and Posies has been growing and selling flowers since 2007. Sylvia and Dave Glick grew their operation from a small garden to a ten acre farm over those years. This Amish family specializes in dahlias. They also grow zinnias, celosia, eucalyptus, dusty miller, statice, curly willow, pussy willow, winter berry, and more. Their farm has a heated greenhouse that provides PFG with early spring eucalyptus, ranunculus, anemones, and more!
Terra Luna
Elise Hanks launched Terra Luna in 2015, allowing her to combine her background in floral design, small scale farming, and herbalism to offer local flowers and handcrafted herbal products to her community in the West Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Elise firmly believes in local agriculture and sustainable design as a path to everyday wellness.
Slabtown Petal Pickers
After four decades in horticulture and dairy farming, Stacey Harrell “retired” in 2019 to create beautiful gardens on former horse pastures. Not surprisingly, she got hooked on cut flowers and her retirement project blossomed into a now three acre sustainable flower farm located in Elmer NJ along Slabtown Road. Stacey loves to grow bold colors and anything with unusual shapes and textures, including lots of herbs. Stacey's husband, Clint, also played an integral part in helping PFG grow, working both as a delivery driver and a cooler fabricator.
Moonshot Farm
Rebecca and Mark Kutzer-Rice began farming in 2019 on 9.5 acres of preserved farmland near Princeton NJ. Since then they've built several large geothermal greenhouses and expanded their operation in 2026 to 60 additional acres on certified organic land. They harvest flowers 52 weeks of the year. They provide unique crops to PFG, such as calla lilies, gloriosa lily, tropical curcuma, lupines, rose lilies, freesia, and sweet peas. They also produce staple flowers like tulips, dahlias, celosia, marigolds, and zinnias in abundance.
Jewells in Bloom
Located in Philadelphia, Jewells in Bloom is a boutique urban farm owned and operated by Courtney Jewell. Originally launched out of her Mt. Airy backyard in 2019, Courtney has now expanded Jewells in Bloom to encompass three locations. For PFG she specializes in unique dahlia varieties, gladiolas, tulips, and woody shrubs.
When she's not farming, Courtney is a busy mom helping with her son's sporting events and other activities.
Renegade Farm
Located in Garnet Valley, PA, Renegade Farm is owned and operated by Erin Cech, with the help of her kids and husband Keegan. Launched in 2022, Renegade Farm grew out of a desire to preserve the property and farmhouse of elderly friends who passed away. Ern envisioned turning the space into a vibrant flower farm buzzing with pollinators. Today the farm is thriving, specializing in classic favorites like heirloom narcissus, tulips, zinnias and dahlias.
When she’s not farming, Erin loves to craft and spends a lot of time fixing up the old farm house, discovering treasures all along the way.
Ethel's Backyard
Located in Media, PA, Ethel’s Backyard is owned and operated by Dawn Zimmerman, who was inspired to start flower farming by the massive zinnias her grandmother Ethel grew. Prior to starting flowering farming in 2017, Dawn was a professional biologist. She continues that passion for biology through ecological farming, where the health of the soil and ecosystem come first. Dawn grows on two acres and specializes in delicate blooms like annual phlox, astrantia, forget-me-nots, saponaria and flowering nicotiana.
When not farming, Dawn loves to cook and stay active with hiking, strength training and driving her lime green Jeep.
