Diane Deveraux started home canning in her thirteenth summer alongside family and friends. She immediately grew a passion for the art and started her own garden at the mere age of fifteen. After college, Diane created her brand, The Canning Diva, in order to blend her passion for gardening and preserving with her knowledge of preparedness and self-reliance. She cans throughout the year to provide a healthy lifestyle for herself and family, and encourages others to do the same. Today, she continues to educate others on canning and preserving with various culinary classes, a weekly radio show and numerous YouTube videos.
