Great Dixter
Great Dixter
Great Dixter is a Grade I registered historic landscape encompassing 2.62 hectares in Northiam, East Sussex, celebrated for its 20th-century Arts and Crafts structural layout by Edwin Lutyens and world-renowned horticultural planting.
Centred on a restored 15th-century timber-framed manor house, Great Dixter's gardens were initially laid out between 1910 and 1912 by architect Edwin Lutyens in collaboration with owner Nathaniel Lloyd. The design synthesizes formal architectural outdoor rooms with native English flora.
Under Nathaniel's son, the influential gardener and author Christopher Lloyd, Great Dixter became an international laboratory of experimental gardening, famous for its replacement of the traditional rose garden with an exotic sub-tropical border, high-density meadows, and vibrant colour tapestries.
Statutorily protected at Grade I under NHLE 1000736, Great Dixter continues to operate as an educational charitable trust and a touchstone of dynamic ecological horticulture.
