The Tales:
She is named after Valerie Finnis, a well-known British photographer, lecturer, teacher and gardener.
She was renowned for her expertise in alpine plants (propagating around 50,000/year at the Waterperry Horticultural Institute for Women – now Waterperry Gardens – when she was a teacher there… we can but dare to dream of attaining those numbers!)
She was awarded the Victoria Medal of Honor in 1975 by the RHS – which is a big deal.
