About Padmé
Florida Grown, Slow Flowers
Padmé Flower Farm is a new farm in the heart of St Pete, FL in the Warehouse Arts District. We broke ground in Nov 2025, and are still working hard with lots of community support to continue to build out the farm as a beautiful ecological sanctuary and community event space.
We offer florals for events, custom bouquets, host private events at the farm, and are open for weekly public U-Picks!

The Flowers
Flowers are available now!
& We are Offering Weekly U-Picks
... Summer Flowers are here! Sunflowers, Zinnias, Statice, Lisianthus, Strawflower, Cosmos, and many more! Get in touch for custom florals or DIY buckets for your upcoming event.
And join us on the farm to harvest your own at a weekly UPick!
U-Picks are usually every Thursday and every other Sunday 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm. You can arrive anytime during that time window, and we appreciate if you sign up ahead of time to reserve a spot as they often sell out!
We provide a jar, snips, and seasonal blooms! More info available on the U-Pick Calendar and event pages!

Meet the Farmer
Hi! I'm Mallika, a farmer-florist and artist.
I am a folk singer and living room musician and can often be found dabbling in other creative arts including baking, crafting, and dance.
Over the years I've work as a garden teacher, grantwriter for environmental organizations, and I'm the founder of garden education nonprofit Growing Together in SF Bay Area, California, where I served as Director from 2013-2018.
I then lived in Norway where I studied Agroecology before moving to St Pete, FL to be closer to my family. I fell in love with growing flowers about 2 years ago when I grew a pilot flower plot in 2024-2025 at Beacon Food Forest in Clearwater.
I'm so grateful to be tending the land at Padmé, sharing the beauty of nature through flowers.
I can't wait to share this magic with you! Thank you for being here!
My Commitment
Ecological
Grown by hand, without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
We use composting, mulching, crop rotation, and other agroecological practices to keep the soil life thriving and the bees buzzing.
Safe
Sadly most flowers on the market are doused in chemicals at every stage - from growth, to harvest and storage : ( And over 80% of flowers sold in the US are imported, primarily from South America, leaving a heavy toll on workers, ecosystems, and customers.
Padmé flowers will always be safe for you and your loved ones.
Go ahead, bury your face in lovely local blooms.
Heartfelt
Whether for your home, a celebration, or someone special, our blooms are grown and handled with love and intention.
Local = fresher higher quality blooms, grown by a real small farmer. Grocery store flowers could never!
