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.

"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
