Your Central Coast farmer-florist

Hi there — I’m Caroline Smith, a regenerative flower farmer turned SLO County based florist, but keep the farming in there (I just can’t stay away). After growing produce and herding sheep for several years, I finally honed in on my favorite part — the flowers. In 2023, I moved to the Central Coast of California and found my way to City Farm SLO. There, the team uplifted my love for flowers, and I crafted our inaugural Cut Flower CSA which gave me a crash-course in floral arranging for the masses.

The bounty of harvest season spilled over, and I had more than enough in the field to go around. City Farm flowers found their way to a myriad of local weddings & events.

I believe in the beauty of the Earth, and letting her magic & medicine shine through at our most sacred & poignant thresholds & gatherings. An artist at heart, I bring a professional eye to my designs, and with my farm knowledge, I am adept at crafting floral installations that are built to last (and for transport).

Hello!

Let's chat
Seasonal offerings

  • "Thank you Caroline for the dreamiest, most incredible florals for my wedding day! I had a vision of local and sustainable flowers that were simple and elegant. I knew immediately after meeting Caroline that these were going to be something special. She deeply cares about taking care of the land, the flowers, and her community. It is so special to work with a farmer florist. She flowed with our vision and transformed it into something so much more! I will cherish these photos and memories of the flowers forever. They elevated every aspect of the wedding day. From the bouquets to the welcome sign, tables, and sweetheart design, Little Pea Florals does it all! If local sustainable florals are your jam then Little Pea Florals is the place to go!"

  • "We hired Caroline to do the flowers at our annual fundraiser and were in awe of her work! She was professional, timely, and communicative! She provided the most beautiful bouquets for the table centerpieces and brought to life the floral design we wanted on our stage- highly recommend going through Little Pea Florals for your event!"

What I Offer

From intimate dinner parties & elopements, to medium-sized weddings & events, I adore adorning tablescapes, altars, halls, & archways with what I grow at City Farm SLO.

  • Available via Harvestly.

    Available via Rooted (coming March 2026).

  • Servicing & adorning events, gatherings, & life’s transitions for my Central Coast community.

    San Luis Obispo based florist and floral design — willing to travel to Santa Barbara if it’s the right fit!

  • After an event, we fetch the flowers back (unless clients wish to keep them), and prep them to land at a local nursing home, hospice facility, or elsewhere.

    Somewhere that needs a ‘bright spot’ will receive the flowers while they’re still fresh & blooming.

    Additionally, I glean weekly from our fields and take what is not purchased to these locations.
