Christopher Lloyd, icon and iconoclast of the gardening world, was
born at Great Dixter, in East Sussex, in 1921 and died there in
2006. In the years between he developed the garden at Dixter into a
mecca for plantsmen and a hub of ideas and connections that spread
throughout the world. And from the 1930s almost until his death he
was also photographing the garden, recording it in intimate detail
as it changed and developed. A carefully chosen selection of
Christopher's photographs is published here, the majority for the
first time. They are juxtaposed with images from the Lloyd family's
earliest days at Dixter, and with photographs taken by Carol
Casselden and others of the garden as it is today.

'To see a meadow in bloom is a great delight - it's alive and
teeming with life, mysterious, dynamic . . .' So Christopher Lloyd
began his much-admired instructive and celebratory account of
meadows, first published in 2004. Few people knew more about meadow
gardening than Lloyd, who spent much of his long life developing
the flowering tapestries in his garden at Great Dixter, creating
scenes of great beauty and a place of pilgrimage for lovers of
wildflowers and wildlife. In Meadows he imparted that lifetime's
learning, exploring the development and management of meadow areas,
explaining how to establish a meadow in a garden setting,
describing the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs and perennials
and annuals that thrive in different meadow conditions and
detailing how to grow them. Lloyd's classic text remains at the
heart of this new book, which also includes - as well as much
stunning new photography - an extensive introduction by Fergus
Garrett, Lloyd's head gardener.
