The once-influential garden writer Rosemary Verey visits plantsman Christopher Lloyd at his home, Great Dixter in East Sussex. The main purpose is to explore the rose garden - but the roses are gone and it has just been replaced with an exuberant, exotic planting... all history now, of course, as the garden is well established. You can also see Fergus Garrett who remains the head gardener to this day.

This is from a time when gardens were really gardens (sorry Fergus) and not multicultural presenter driven BBC blue Peter style instant oasis's whos main interest is making money packing them in and feeding the mob. There's few gardens like this left with truly inspired gardeners on tap to show people his work. We've all been dumbed down by garden center etiquette and Chinese clothing to take any interest in growing plants.

It is nonsense to imply that the garden has not evolved along the lines of Christopher Lloyd's ideas under Fergus Garrett's leadership. It is still trailblazing as it was then.
