I chatted with Sue earlier in the year just after the opening of the new RHS Bridgewater garden in Salford which she was, understandably, very excited about - especially the impact it is having on the local community.

Our conversation covered so much - everything from Sue’s relationship with her own garden and the ways it has supported her at the most difficult times in her life, to her role at the RHS and how she has developed her ability to run such a large organisation.

We explored her passion for increasing diversity and inclusion in gardening, and at the RHS itself, and much much more - we also discuss fake turf and, our northern or hybrid accents and what seems to be a bit of a hobby horse, her wish to see more outside growing space in new developments.
