Meadows

At Great Dixter and Beyond

Christopher Lloyd, Fergus Garrett

'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.

'To see a meadow in bloom is a great delight - it's alive and teeming with life, mysterious, dynamic . . .'

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.
