In this episode of EVOLVE Voices,⁠Edilsa Bueno⁠ hostsNatalie Gill and Meg Blancato.

Floral design is both an art and a business, and Natalie Gill and Meg Blancato have mastered both with Native Poppy, their San Diego-based flower company. What started as Natalie’s backyard hobby has flourished into a multi-location business known for its artistry, sustainability, and commitment to joy. Together, Natalie and Meg have navigated challenges like floods and big-box competition, all while staying focused on creating meaningful experiences for their customers.

Natalie Gill and Meg Blancato are the co-founders of Native Poppy, a women-owned flower shop delivering across San Diego and creating stunning arrangements for events nationwide. Committed to sustainability, they operate a pesticide-free farm, support local growers, and reduce waste through thoughtful practices. Their passion extends beyond blooms with e-courses in floral design and a collection of gifts shipped nationwide.
