Overview

In 1910, Nathaniel and Daisy Lloyd employed Edwin Lutyens to build a new house at Great Dixter and lay out a garden for them to plant. But it was Christopher – the Lloyds’ youngest son – who turned the garden into the famous spectacle it is today. We will explore how adventurous gardening changed Great Dixter into the very beautiful place we now know.

This is a repeat of the sold-out course from November 2025.
