Meadows: At Great Dixter and Beyond
English
By (author): Christopher Lloyd Fergus Garrett
To see a meadow in bloom is a great delight its 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 lifetimes 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.
