Great Dixter House and Gardens

Garden Holidays Banner

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.
Facilities - Shop, disabled access although difficult in places, plant sales, refreshments. 
Editor's favourite - This is one of our Top ten Gardens in the British Isles and not to be missed.
