Malcolm McGregor has been growing alpine plants for over 25 years – and saxifrages for most of that time. He says that it is the unforced charm of mountain plants that most attracts him.
Malcolm was the editor of the Scottish Rock Garden Club (2000–2006) and the Saxifrage Society (1993–2003), as well as chairman of the Saxifrage Society (2003–2006). He has travelled widely in search of saxifrages – in North America, Europe, Turkey, Morocco, the Himalayas, the Olympic Mountains, Austria and Italy.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and philosophy from the University of York, as well as a bachelor’s degree in English literature and economic history from the University of Hull.
Malcolm has been a professional teacher and lecturer for 35 years as well as having worked in arts administration and in writing computer software for the engineering industry. He is now a freelance writer and an enthusiastic lecturer on alpine plants and gardening. He has twice undertaken lecture tours across North America for the North American Rock Garden Club and once for the Scottish Rock Garden Club.
He has written several titles including: Saxifrages: The Complete Cultivars and Hybrids and Saxifrages from Scratch.
Malcolm currently lives in East Yorkshire.
