Valerie Finnis
1924-2006 | United Kingdom Guest Blogger, Martha Keen, has written the piece below about the dynamic Historic Woman in Hort, Valerie Finnis. "Plantswoman, educator and photographer Valerie Finnis is a horticulturist for the ages. While several cultivars that she introduced still carry her name, her sociability and charisma, keen eye for design and candor in capturing her subjects, and encyclopedic alpine plant prowess warrant retelling perhaps most of all. | Left: Rock garden
