I got to know Emily when she recruited me to the board of the Nepean Horticultural Society. She, with Eleanor Nickerson and Rosi Mikolajeskii, entered flowers, plants and designs at provincial, district and local flower shows, winning many prizes and awards. They were three inspiring women with a wealth of knowledge to share. Emily and I entered the district flower show at City Hall in August so I got to admire her beautiful entries and the prizes she won. She also entered the June and September local shows winning prizes at the NHS AGM on November 17th . Photos of her prizewinning red rose and the awarding of a Life Membership in June were included in the photo retrospective of the year. She was in our hearts at that meeting and will be fondly remembered by her fellow gardeners.
