Lloyd, Christopher

Lloyd, Christopher
▪ 2007

      British gardener and writer (b. March 2, 1921, Northiam, Sussex, Eng.—d. Jan. 27, 2006, Hastings, East Sussex, Eng.), wrote influential books on gardening, in addition to regular newspaper and magazine columns. Lloyd was known for his innovative gardening and love of colour, as well as his wit and strong opinions. His garden at Great Dixter, the Sussex estate on which he grew up, became a place of pilgrimage for horticulturists. Lloyd took a degree (1949) in horticulture from Wye College, University of London, and in 1954 opened a nursery at Great Dixter. His first book was The Mixed Border (1957); other volumes included The Well-Tempered Garden (1970) and Succession Planting for Adventurous Gardeners (2005). Lloyd wrote the weekly column “In My Garden” for Country Life magazine from 1963 through October 2005. He was awarded the Victoria Medal of Honour of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1979 and was appointed OBE in 2000.
