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!"
