Great Dixter lays claim to being the most innovative, spectacular and provocative garden of the 20th century. Made famous by the much-loved eccentric plantsman and writer Christoper Lloyd, who used the garden as a living laboratory and documented his experiments in a weekly column in Country Life, Great Dixter began life as a Gertrude Jeykll inspired Arts and Crafts garden surrounding a house designed by Edwin Lutyens. The Lloyd family created Dixter just before the outbreak of WW1, with the intention of establishing a rural idyll for Christo and his 5 siblings. Dixter was to be both Christo’s horticultural nursery and the setting for his rebellion in late middle age as he finally threw off the shackles of his intense bond with his mother, to make the garden and his life, his own.
