Christopher Hamilton Lloyd, OBE, was a British gardener and author. He was the 20th Century chronicler for the heavily planted, labour-intensive, country garden.[
The rereading of this wonderful CL book reminded me what an excellent writer he was. It is full of interesting history, useful facts and tips and, most importantly, fun and pithy text. A must read for any gardener ( and if you don’t try to read it, in CL’s words, you must be a bore!).
Written with a lot of attitude and very funny, pithy viewpoints. A treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration surrounding a classic and iconic group of plants.
