Meet Diane Joyal

Diane loves anything that keeps her smiling. This includes small puppies, big local blooms, and a good conversation. Her days at Bowerbird Flowers and Apothecary | Durham Florist & Flower Delivery are filled with client interactions, vendor relations, and tracking down the best of the best in product. Diane’s Secret talent is being up with the floral trends and knowing just where to find a specific flower. Her favorite flowers are off-beat tulips, bearded iris, and not your average roses.

As the Founder of Bowerbird Flowers and Apothecary | Durham Florist & Flower Delivery, Diane started the business with the idea that arrangements should be created to showcase what each individual bloom can do. This concept is a contrast to typical traditional floral designers. In order to learn the trade Diane trained with Sarah Ryhanen of Saipua based in Brooklyn, NY in 2014. From there she has continued her lessons since by taking classes with well known designers such as Ponderosa & Thyme, Love’n fresh Flowers, and Bows & Arrows Flowers.

Bowerbird Flowers and Apothecary | Durham Florist & Flower Delivery is proud to be an active member of Slow Flowers, a movement to promote local, seasonal and sustainably-grown flowers.
