Christopher Lloyd

I just read this post on a forum, thought some of you would want to know.:

"I just read yesterday that one of the great gardeners of the 20th century died last week. Christopher Lloyd, master of Great Dixter, writer, iconoclast, curmudgeon, experimenter was the last of, "a breed of manor house garden writers." (NY Times, 1/31)

" 'Gardening, like living, should be fun,' he wrote. 'It can't be much of the time, but we can do our best to make it so. It is that intangible something which immediately proclaims that behind the scenes there is an original whose guiding hand has created something ephemeral, yes, but with the magic of a sunset.' " (NY Times, 1/31)

"What an original he was!"
