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]
