Shrubs and Woodland for Autumn Colour – Speaker Jack Aldridge
Jack has been described as a rising star in British horticulture and is renowned for his exceptional knowledge of woody plants and his significant contributions to plant conservation, research, and education.
In fact, he is the current holder of the 2025 RHS ROY LANCASTER AWARD in recognition of his outstanding contribution to horticulture. Having been interested in plants from a young age, upon leaving school Jack applied for the prestigious Wisley Diploma course, from which he graduated in 2022 before being taken on full-time. He later managed Oakwood at the same location, demonstrating a level of expertise that sets him apart from many of his peers. His commitment to the propagation and conservation of rare and significant plants, alongside his efforts to improve plant labelling and collection accuracy, showcases his dedication. Jack’s work marks him as an exceptional young horticulturist and a leader of the next generation in the field.
