Past president Loloma Puls said community groups had made about 80 knitted or crocheted flowers.
The poppies will decorate the Horsham cenotaph for the city’s Anzac Day commemorations.
“Horsham Country Women Association members have about 60 to give me,” Mrs Puls said.
Almost 30 people have asked her for the poppy pattern.
Mrs Puls encouraged more people to become involved in the initiative, which is a first for Horsham.
She said Melbourne’s 5000 Poppies project had inspired her.
Craft flowers will be laid in Federation Square as tributes to Australian servicemen and women.
Mrs Puls said people could call her on 5382 1815 for patterns or more information.
