Death of Paul Ingwersen of the famous nursery firm
« on: August 25, 2016, 02:40:32 PM »
Many members will remember fondly the alpine nursery of W E Th Ingwersen which closed in 2008, and have known  both the late Will Ingwersen and also Paul Ingwersen - famous for  growing so many plants that have delighted members over so many years. It is with sadness we learn that Paul Ingwersen  who was also a  former President of the Horticultural Exhibitors' Association  passed away peacefully in his sleep  on 21st August.

We send our sincere condolences to his family at this time.
Margaret Young in Aberdeen, North East Scotland Zone 7 -ish!

Ingwersens, though situated far away in the south of England, were regular exhibitors at Gardening Scotland - these photos are from the stand in Sandy Leven's report from the 2007 show ...

Lovely photo and memory from Adrian Young on Facebook ....
"I was sorry to hear of the Passing of Paul Ingwersen.
 He was very helpful to me when I first got into Alpines
 in the early seventies.
 Rest in Peace Pal
