Christopher Lloyd: A Life at Great Dixter - Born in 1921, Christopher Lloyd lived and worked for most of his life at his family home, Great Dixter. It was at Dixter that he, through his adventurous changes and characteristic use of colour, created one of the world’s best loved gardens. His work in the gardens informed and inspired his distinctive writing, published in national press and numerous books, which made him a household name and the most engaging plantsman of his generation. Bringing together personal objects from Christopher’s home, recollections from his friends and colleagues, his writing and gardens, the exhibition will piece together a picture of the man behind the iconic garden. Eight of Christopher's friends and colleagues have contributed to the exhibition. These different perspectives on will give visitors the chance to explore Christopher Lloyd’s public persona and his private interests and enthusiasms and gain a unique appeciation of one of the 20th century's most influential gardeners. Until Sunday 12 September.

About the Museum of Garden History:

The Garden Museum exists to explore and celebrate the social, artistic and cultural significance of gardens and gardening. It was founded in 1977, as the world’s first museum dedicated to the history gardens and gardening. In creating the Museum, the founders also succeeded in saving the historic church of St. Mary-at-Lambeth from demolition.

The inspiration to found the Garden Museum came from the discovery of the neglected and forgotten tomb of 17th century plant hunters, the John Tradescants, father and son. As the Museum looks to the future it aims to become a first class national resource, providing information about plant and garden history to anyone who wishes to visit the building or browse this web site.
