My Family and other Irises: Lucy Skellorn

Lucy holds the NPC of Irises introduced by her great great grandfater Sir Michael Foster, known as the father of Iris breeding. Her interest was sparked when she was training to be a gardener and discovered the work of her illustrious ancestor. Lucy has made it her mission to find as many of Foster's irises as possible, her journey has led her to the Chelsea Flower Show, Gardeners' World and work with the Garden Museum.
