About the Author
Christopher Lloyd, the youngest of six children, was born at Great Dixter. Educated at Rugby and Cambridge, he served in the army during the war before taking a BSc in horticulture at Wye College, where he also worked as a lecturer. In 1954, he returned to Great Dixter to set up a nursery specialising in unusual plants. He published numerous influential books including The Mixed Border as well as Succession Planting for Adventurous Gardeners, a collaboration with his head gardener, Fergus Garrett. He was awarded an honourary doctorate from the Open University and an OBE for his services to horticulture, but it was the Royal Horticultural Society's Victoria Medal of Honour (VMH) which gave him the greatest satisfaction.
