Adrian Slack (1933–2018^[1]) was a landscape gardener, plantsman, author and authority on carnivorous plants. 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).^[2]

Both of Adrian Slack's books are considered to have excellent cultivation information and are highly regarded in the carnivorous plant community. After a long time out of print, both of them have recently been reissued. Slack developed hundreds of cultivars and many have been named after him.^[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.^[8]
