It began as a personal tribute to their fathers who fought in World War 2, Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight decided to make a 120 crocheted poppies to “plant” at the Shrine of Remembrance for Remembrance Day in 2013 in Melbourne, Australia. From a 120 poppies it has grown into a community all over the globe, creating poppies to honor and remember those who served their countries in times of conflict and peace keeping missions.
