Sue Biggs, Director General of the Royal Horticultural Society is casttway by Lauren Laverne.

She鈥檚 been at the helm of the RHS since 2010 and during that time, its membership has grown to more than half a million people. The RHS is also renowned for its spectacular flower shows and garden festivals around the country, including Chelsea, Hampton Court, Chatsworth House and Tatton Park.

Sue has had a lifelong love of gardening since her mum gave her a packet of seeds on her seventh birthday.

Before the RHS, she worked in the travel industry for 25 years, identifying new destinations for holidaymakers. She was the first woman to be appointed to the board of Kuoni Travel.

She strongly believes that horticultural work and expertise do not receive the wider respect they deserve.

Sue was made a CBE in 2017 for her services to the environment and ornamental horticulture industries.
