The most-coveted accolade at any Alpine Garden Society show is, of course, a Farrer Medal, awarded to the best plant in the show. The Farrer Medal takes its name from Reginald Farrer, an eccentric plant hunter, gardener and writer. Such is his influence, he is often referred to as the 'Prince of alpine gardeners.' Reginald Farrer was born in 1880. He grew up in the village of Clapham at the foot of Ingleborough Fell in the Yorkshire Dales. Even as a young child, Farrer loved flowers. By the time he was eight, he knew a school book of botany by heart! At 14, he rebuilt the rock garden at his parents' home. Later, he created a rock garden in an old kitchen garden where he started the Craven Nursery. It was here that he constructed his moraine: a scree with water running through it. It mostly consisted of rock and leafmould. Water percolated the lower section to keep the top section moist. Farrer claimed to have excellent results with Eritrichium nanum here. This moraine was to play an important role in the future construction of rock gardens. In 1907, he published My Rock-Garden. The book was a resounding success and has been reprinted many times. In 1908, he followed with Alpines and Bog-Plants. Subsequent titles were In a Yorkshire Garden, Among the Hills and The English Rock-Garden. (1919). Farrer died in 1920 at the age of 40 while on a plant-hunting expedition in Burma. In 1921, Clarence Elliot, who travelled to the Alps with Farrer, wrote: 'As a writer of garden books he stood alone. He wrote, as a rule, from a peculiar angle of his own, giving queer human attributes to his plants, which somehow exactly described them.' The Alpine Garden Society owes its existence in part to Farrer. In the December 1932 AGS Bulletin, nurseryman Walter Ingwersen wrote: 'In no small way has his influence made the Alpine Garden Society possible? I believe that he has made more converts to the charms of alpine plants and their cultivation in our gardens than any other book ever written. Ref A6 4.
