hello.

My name is Patricia Durkin and I am the designer and owner of PD Florals.

I am a one woman show, creating naturally tailored designs for weddings and events in South Western Ontario.

I design out of a studio at a location very close to my heart, the family farm I grew up on outside of Langton Ontario "Spearit Farms". 

​

Floral design wasn't something I considered doing until my second year of horticulture school at Niagara College. I took an intro design course and fell in love with the art. After graduating with a Horticulture Technician Diploma, I decided to pursue floral design and enrolled in a one year course at Seneca College, Toronto. 

After Graduating, I moved back to my home town and worked in a small retail floral shop for three years.

Needing to advance my skills, I took the plunge and was hired for a floral design position in Toronto at large floral event studio. There, I gained skills in managing a warehouse, purchasing hard goods and florals, managing a production team of designers and assembling large events in some of the most prestigious hotels and event spaces in the city. 

​

After being in the city for five years, it was time for me to return back to my roots in Norfolk County and thats when I started PD Florals.
