Suzanne’s career story

A move to the great outdoors

Sue began her career at the RHS 16 years ago. She trained as a horticultural student and would not be where she is now, without the excellent training and people that she met during that experience.

Horticulture was not something that Sue had planned to do, as she started her career in archaeology. She realised this wasn’t for her, and that she wanted to do something more creative, and knew she enjoyed being outside, so horticulture seemed like a good move.

Finding inspiration in her work

In her current role as a Director, leading the Learning and Public Engagement Division (a new Division which came out of the RHS Strategy to 2030), Sue experienced a steep learning curve working with the different teams, and thinking how about how they fit together.

She has found it inspirational to go out and talk to people about all the work that the RHS is doing, and feels that it’s not always obvious how much the RHS is involved.
