Lucy Roche

Trials Officer

I have recently gained my own garden which is currently blank canvass, but won’t be for long!

I have worked in the Trials Office at Wisley for three years and have been a Trials Officer for two. I am currently responsible for the coordination of 14 plant trials, both at Wisley and offsite, at various stages of completion; from planning and sourcing plants through organising and attending the assessment of plants by Trials Forums to writing the Final Report once a trial has finished.
 
I gained a degree in Horticulture at the Royal Agricultural University at Cirencester which included a year at Pershore College. Since leaving university, I have worked in sports pitch construction and maintenance and as a gardener on a private estate; Fort Belvedere, near Ascot. As a Trials Officer, I have been privileged to work with the RHS Plant Committee and Forum members and learn from their vast knowledge of plants and also work with such knowledgeable colleagues. I have recently gained my own garden which is currently blank canvass, but won’t be for long! When not working on the garden, she can be found enjoying her other passion for music.
