{"product_id":"the-view-from-great-dixter-christopher-lloyds-garden-legacy","title":"The View from Great Dixter: Christopher Lloyd's Garden Legacy","description":"\u003cp\u003eExpansive herbaceous borders  orchid-filled meadows enveloped by old stone  precision-carved topiary  and an air of gentle eccentricity make Great Dixter the quintessential English country garden. Yet the impact of Christopher Lloyds unique creation extends way beyond the gardening world and affects all who pass through it in a very particular way.  In this intimate collection of written and photographic contributions  Christopher Lloyds wide circle of family and friends describe what Great Dixter means to them. Food  poetry  music and plants feature large with one guest recounting the delight of eating an exquisitely cooked turbot and another how a bloom of magnolia was analyzed with botanical precision during the course of dinner. Visitors remember the feel of the centuries-old floorboards underfoot  the thrill of waking early to peer out on topiary enshrouded in fog  and many describe how  in one way or another  Great Dixter changed their lives.  This valuable record encapsulates what makes time spent at Great Dixter in particular  and to some extent time spent in all gardens  so irreplaceable. It adds an important layer to our understanding of Christopher Lloyds achievements and spurs us on to new heights in our own gardening endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964870586421,"sku":"ByrdShop_1604692154","price":61.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781604692150.jpg?v=1770483035","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-view-from-great-dixter-christopher-lloyds-garden-legacy","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
