This is the tenth year since the death of Christopher Lloyd, so why not come and visit the wonderful gardens he created at Great Dixter in Northiam and the medieval part of the house in which he lived?
The gardens are really waking up now, with the spring bulbs bursting into bloom and new plantings in progress. The house is gleaming with polish and elbow grease, just waiting to open its doors this week from Good Friday, March 25.
This year, as always, garden tours are available with very experienced and knowledgeable leaders. To book to go on one, visit the Great Dixter Charitable Trust website.
In celebration of Christopher Lloyd’s life and work, various events and publications will be made available to the public. Watch out for previews in Rye News!
Information about the Study Days, opening times and other events, not forgetting the Dachshund Fun Day, of course, will be found on the website. The house is open March 25 to October 30, 2pm to 5pm, the gardens from 11am to 5pm, and the nursery is open all the year round.
The Spring Plant Fair is on over the weekend of Saturday April 2 and Sunday April 3, so come and buy some unusual plants for your garden and the famous Autumn one returns again in October.
Great Dixter welcomes visitors great and small, but sadly no dogs. The two dachshunds who believe they own the place are not too keen on canine strangers!
