Karen and her husband Richard are well-known on the Eyre Peninsula for their stunning Bostonvista Garden which overlooks Port Lincoln’s picturesque Boston Bay. The garden has been open to the public on many occasions over the last several years. Karen can attest to the hardiness of roses with about 140 growing around her rain-thirsty garden. She started growing roses at Bostonvista in 2014 and was going to stop at 100, but not everything goes to plan.

Karen has been a member of Roses on Eyre since 2015 and Secretary since 2019. She has many other interests, among them, photography.
