Adrian Slack

He won 5 gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show, and authored two books: Carnivorous Plants (1979, 2005) and Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them (1986, 2006).

[1][2] Both of Adrian Slack's books are considered to have excellent cultivation information and are highly regarded in the carnivorous plant community.

[3] The sundew species Drosera slackii he cultivated was named in his honour.

[4][5] Slack founded and ran Marston Exotics carnivorous plant nursery in England before suffering a stroke in 1986 that caused his early retirement.

[6] Slack was featured on a 1981 episode of Nature Watch[7] and in an accompanying book published the same year.
