Valerie Finnis: the great plantswoman and photographer. Awarded the Victoria Medal of Honour by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Artemisia ludoviciana, western mugwort. I think this is ‘Valerie Finnis’. Lovely silvery foliage that sets off other flowers beautifully.

It's my first attempt. This is its first flowering year, and this will be its only flower. It's in a pot. My sister, who is the plantswoman that I am not, says her peonies always flower better in containers than they do in the ground. If it does turn out to be finicky, I'll pass it on to her. 🌸

Lovely BBC News article about rare or lost daffodil varieties. This "is one of many bred by the plantswoman Sarah Backhouse. It was named for her by her husband after her death in 1921."
And 104 years later, she is remembered as we all learn about her through the article. Wonderful and romantic.

I did have a period in life when I could call myself a gardener ... not now, but maybe one day I will be able to do so again. My mother was also a plantswoman, and I loved maintaining her garden in the year that I looked after her, as you did with your mother and aunt.

Do you have any favourite #gardening jobs? I love propagating. I'm more of a plantswoman than a garden designer. And doing small jobs while foraging for my meals.

June 27, 1923: Gardener and plantswoman Beth Chatto is born (as Bessie Little) in Good Easter, England. She popularized the expression "right plant, right place" for her ecology-minded approach, wrote influential books on the subject, and founded Beth Chatto Gardens in Essex.
