ABOUT LADY ELAINE COLEMAN
Lady Elaine K Coleman was born in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England. The Family’s Scottish Highland Estate comes with right to Title. She descends from a heritage where her horticulturist mother, Kathleen entertained many avid UK listeners on her BBC gardening radio program in the mid-1950s.
Lady Elaine spent many hours with her mother gaining a true appreciation of gardening. This learning experience has translated into prompting her to pursue an avid horticultural career. During these years, she has visited countless gardens, some as far away as South Africa as well as hundreds in the US and Europe.
An accomplished author, she is also a horticulture lecturer and teacher at Powell Gardens in Kingsville, Mo. She is a Master Gardener Emeritus, Cornell University Extension N.Y. and Kansas City, Missouri.
She was a buyer of perennials, bulbs and roses at Winkler’s Nursery N.Y. for 7 years.
Lady Elaine works for an orchid grower, David Bird of Birds Botanicals. At this Kansas City underground growing facility, with more than 10,000 orchids, she often conducts tours, and teaches classes.
