มุมมอง 58K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Alan Titchmarsh presents a tribute to the influential gardener and writer, Christopher Lloyd, who died in January 2006. First broadcast in 2006.
What an amazing house, so thoughtfully designed by Lutyens. One day I'm coming to see it and the magnificent garden. I loved this video and commentary but the background music was an intrusion for me.
This popped up in autoplay and what an absolute joy.
good video but have a problem

Wonderful video! Thanks for posting
Superb house! How wonderful for those of us who cannot visit to be able to enjoy its beauty! Thank you so much.
I just LOVE these films!! Thank you SO much! 🙏🏻💕
Removing healthy plants for effect...vandalism.
So beautiful!
I loved my weekends at Great Dixter with Christo and the ever-changing rota of guests… He was a beautiful, funny, charming and occasionally cantankerous darling man who gave great big hugs and was hilariously pernickety (about the type of chocolate that one could eat, the correct time of the day for champagne - only mornings) and I’ll never forget him. So lovely to see that his mission continues in his absence.

Beautiful garden but not much of a “lecture.”
Stunning
I've got Christopher's gardening books at home, splendid character!
One day I will get there❤
Fabulously informative and entertaining for a newly to English gardening history
I have yet to read my book it’s been on the shelf for a while. I’m inspired now to dust it off.
My all time favourite garden
Merry Christmas, Russell!
The bosom of Heaven~~
or highly trained assassin we're talking about
so brilliant so beautiful. Transformative.
Beautiful! How did you get tulips to flower at the same time with the rest of the flowers? Usually, they bloom before all other flowers?It’s amazing how color patterns are changing an yet, still everything is so connected with purple flowers and blends majestically. Great gardener!
Wonderful video! I did a search for Greant Dixter after seeing a post by Colorado gardener Panayoti Kelaidis about an enchanting visiti he had at the gardens and a visit with Fergus Garett. I did some videos with Panayoti at his home garden for my channel and am very happy to find this video that explores gardens and those who nurture them.
So magical thank you for sharing
I would love to see a tour that includes a discussion of what was planted! Beautiful design 🥰
Fascinating programme .So glad this came up on my newsfeed.
Such a delightful and inspirational garden, so lucky to have been and even toured the house.
Beautiful! This video should be prescribed for anyone who feels lowered by the pace of modern life.
Destruction of perfectly healthy and lovely flowers. APPALLING ! That's not gardening ! 32mins.
Well, this one did make me a little sick at moments, but most of it was fine for me. Just maybe a bit slower. Still thrilled to see the garden.
Thank you for this.
I cannot get enough of these videos. Thank you thank you thank you.
I remember the first time I saw a photograph of the topiary at Great Dixter, surrounded by meadow. I could not believe that such a thing existed. It was a whole new world for me.
Oh my goodness. Thrilling. Thank you for not moving the camera too fast. Also, can anyone tell me what those tall blue/silver fern-like plants are?
Cardoon, Cynara cardunculus. It’s a giant thistle and the wild relative of the globe artichoke (the one for pizza)
@@henrymiller8859 Thank you so much. I wasn't sure I'd ever get an answer with so few views. Was hoping I could grow it, but I'm on the very upper edge of zone 7 -- by the water in southern Connecticut, so zone 6 is a stone's throw away. I don't think they'd make it through the winter here.
@@nspector Their foliage would be killed off in winter but they have a strong tap root to regrow from. You could try covering their crowns with a thick mulch over winter and that might help protect the buds. Unfortunately I dont know if that would be enough. Where I garden it rarely gets below -5 celcius.
@@henrymiller8859 I could try that. But I just did that this past winter with some dusty miller that I grew from seed, which somepeople say can make it in zone 7. (We often go down to about -12 c once or twice in the winter, and can go below -17 every few years.) About 40% survived. That'd be a lot to lose with such a massive plant.
@@henrymiller8859 Ah, just seeing artichoke plants in another video. (I have an ornamental garden, so very little experience with vegetables.) They they look quite similar but smaller, maybe 3ft. Sounds like they'd be even less likely to survive our winters, but maybe because they are smaller I'd be more willing to grow them as an annual? Or maybe I should just go for it and try the Cardoon. Ok, just thinking out loud here...
Thrilling, absolutely thrilling. Thank you.
This was a complete thrill. Thank you so much.
Wow.

Beautiful 💖 flower garden
Awful. Impossible to view, unless it was intended to maker potential viewers feel ill. Mobile phones are for speaking not making films! For goodness sake buy a camera.
I would love to have known Christopher Lloyd for as well as being a wonderful creative gardener he sounds such an entertaining, interesting person.
thanks the the garden walk and the birdsong.
Is this garden open to the public? Where is this May I ask? Absolutely stunning
It's in England; a Google search should lead you to their website (Great Dixter) for all the info you need.
This is a masterpiece of horticulture 💚. Truly wonderful. I saw the 🌟 garden in fall of 2000, and I am now rewarded with how it has developed since then. Magnificent 👏🏻👏🏻. ( Fergus, you were mowing the pasture👍) Mr. Christopher Lloyd led us around as a small group, and pebbled us with information, wisdom and “Spicy stories” 😘. I’ll remember It lovingly and always. Still on my top Bucket List to visit again. ( When stateside, I had my picture taken with the GENIUS FERGUS at a workshop.) I am a big fan. These videos are a true gift, thank You.
Magical. Can I ask how wide and long are the beds?
I believe you can find out on the Great Dixter website.
Absolutely stunning garden!! I love the pop of color with the orange tulips!! What are the tall white flowers?
Looks like white honesty to me.
@@rn2020 Thanks much!
