Staff

Emma is the PlantNetwork Administrator and works behind the scenes and alongside Mercy to ensure that our membership systems and processes are supported and kept up to date and that our social media is ticking over. Having worked within administration for over 10 years, she has also developed her own membership and community and brings the skills gained to her role at PlantNetwork. When she is not at her desk, Emma can be found outdoors, often with a camera in hand, hiking throughout the Peak District and capturing images of nature in all its beauty!

Mercy keeps the hidden machinery of PlantNetwork running. She has the RHS MHort. and an MSc in Ethnobotany. Previous roles have included Conservation Manager at Plant Heritage, Research Assistant at the University of Kent and Team Leader at RBG Kew, Wakehurst Place. Mercy has a National Plant Collection of Chlorophytum comosum cvs. and has opened under the National Gardens Scheme for houseplants. When she is not doing planty things she may be running, cycling, sea-swimming or cat-wrangling.

If you join PlantNetwork Zoom meetings, you will undoubtedly meet her cat, Tiberius.
