Will Ingwersen

Will Ingwersen (ca. 1916–ca. 1990), nurseryman and alpine specialist of renown. Will won numerous gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show and wrote or co-authored many books which can still be found in second hand shops - in some cases at a premium. An occasional broadcaster on shows such as the BBC's Gardeners' Question Time, Will is remembered for his contribution to alpine and rock gardening. The nursery founded by his father, continues to thrive and is the source of many rare and interesting species. He was a past president of Horticultural Trades Association, and Vice-president of both the Alpine Garden Society and Royal Horticultural Society.
