Suzy spent most of her working life in education as a teacher of English and History before becoming a principal in an independent girls’ school. She also was very involved with her local area through her husband’s work as a councillor.
She began volunteering at the Growing Friends biannual plant sales when still working in education and has spent the last three and a half years managing the Office of the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
A lover of gardens and history, Suzy believes that society thrives when surrounded by the natural world and living, being educated, working and socializing in well-designed, beautiful spaces.
