About Bettye's Flower Design

Bettye's Flower Design is a florist in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, owned and designed by Bettye Jenkins, who has worked as a floral designer in the town for more than forty years. Every arrangement is designed personally for the customer rather than pulled from a catalogue: the shop treats what a client is trying to express as the starting point, and builds the piece around it. The work spans keepsake arrangements for any occasion, custom designer pieces made to a client’s own taste, and the sympathy and funeral work — wreaths, crosses and standing sprays — that fills the shop’s walls. Bettye opened the florist with the customer in mind, and “How can we better service the people?” has been the motto from the start. The shop is deliberately accessible: it offers a range of styles to suit different tastes and states plainly that no budget is too small or too big. Bettye's serves Chapel Hill along with the Raleigh–Durham and Pittsboro areas. The one limit the shop sets is on what it will not make: it reserves the right to decline any arrangement promoting indecency or the expression of a hate group.

The shop carries a Chapel Hill legacy that predates it by decades. Bettye Jenkins was born in Chapel Hill and raised by her grandmother, Ada Edwards, one of the original Franklin Street Flower Ladies — the women who sold flowers in town for generations. A photograph on the shop’s own site shows Ada Edwards in a light blue dress selling flowers to Chancellor House in 1967. Bettye has been around flowers since the 1960s, and they have always been a way of life for her family: as a girl she and her relatives would go out to area fields and woods to gather flowers, and her grandmother would take them into town to sell. That upbringing became a trade. Bettye deepened the affection into skill through formal education in floral design, and describes the result as a God-given talent that has let her serve her community and share her love of flowers. More than forty years on, she is a granddaughter of a Franklin Street Flower Lady carrying on her grandmother’s work in the same town.
