The garden at Great Dixter is a significant feature of the property, known for its long-standing tradition of sophisticated plantsmanship. It is recognized as a Grade I listed garden in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The garden is designed in the arts and crafts style, featuring topiary, a long border, an orchard, and a wildflower meadow. The planting is abundant yet structured, and has been the site of many bold experiments in form, color, and combination.
Visiting Hours and Seasons
The house and garden of Great Dixter are open to the public from the end of March until late October each year. This provides an opportunity for visitors to explore the historic house and its beautiful garden during the warmer months of the year. In addition, the nursery at Great Dixter is open all year round, allowing visitors to purchase plants and learn more about gardening throughout the year.
The Great Dixter Charitable Trust
The Great Dixter Charitable Trust was established in 2003 by Christopher Lloyd, with the aim of preserving the property after his death. The trust places a strong emphasis on education, offering student placements and scholarships every year to ensure that the skills of managing an intricate, complex garden are passed on. In addition, the trust organizes study days, week-long symposia, workshops, and lectures frequently.
