International Women's Day: 100 leading women in UK horticulture

I was delighted to be included in Horticulture Week's listing of 100 top women in UK horticulture onInternational Women’s Day, 8 March 2021.

At the Chartered Insitute of Horticulture’s 2020 AGM held on Zoom in late September I was honoured to receive the annual President’s Award from Gerald Bonner.

The citation reads: "Every year the President of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture chooses an individual who, in their opinion, epitomises the term horticulturist. Someone who has a true passion for the industry and everything it stands for and someone who has actively made a positive impact and given their life to horticulture. The winner of the award receives a commemorative plaque at the CIH Annual General meeting to demonstrate their invaluable contribution to this immensely important industry."
