Granddaughter of a Franklin Street Flower Lady Carries On Her Legacy

Posted Sep 29, 2021
The granddaughter of one of Franklin Street’s original “Flower Ladies” is still uplifting the community through flowers, forty years later. Bettye Jenkins’ family has been passionate about flowers for decades, so it makes perfect sense for her to run her own flower-arranging business, Bettye’s Floral Design, which is still based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
