Great
Dixter is the family home of the late Christopher Lloyd, who had devoted his
lifetime to creating one of the most experimental, exciting and constantly
changing gardens of our time. Incorporating many medieval buildings, the
gardens surround the house, each complementing the other.
There is a wide variety of interest at from yew topiary, carpets of meadow
flowers, dazzling colourful mixed borders (including the famous
Long Border), natural ponds, a formal pool, and the wonderful Exotic
Garden. Christopher Lloyd and head gardener Fergus Garrett were constantly
experimenting at this great garden which no garden enthusiast should miss.
