Will Ingwersen

Will Alfred Theodore Ingwersen (7 May 1905 – 14 June 1990), was a British nurseryman and alpine specialist.[1][2] He was an authority on alpine plants, and an expert on rock gardens.[3]

Ingwersen was awarded numerous gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show and was the author or co-author of several books. On occasion, he served as a broadcaster on the BBC's Gardeners' Question Time. The nursery founded by his father ceased to trade in November 2008 when his half-brother Paul retired. [4]

Ingwersen was a past president of Horticultural Trades Association, and vice-president of both the Alpine Garden Society and the Royal Horticultural Society.[5]
