Kate adored her job at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh (RBGE). She was always happiest outdoors, getting her hands dirty. She had been leading a project to preserve and rehouse over one hundred species of ferns during maintenance work on RBGE’s glasshouses.

You can read more about her work here, or watch Kate talk about her project in the video below. We are also very grateful to Kate’s colleagues for sharing the beautiful photos below.

We are so immensely proud of Kate, and of her work and accomplishments at RBGE.
