Reviews

SUNDAY TIMES
Lloyd writes as if he were talking, volubly and well. He is funny, encouraging, informative
COUNTRY LIFE
Essential reading
HOUSE & GARDEN
The text is lucid, informative and light-hearted; beautifully and usefully illustrated
GUARDIAN
He was the best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times
THE TIMES
Christopher Lloyd ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in twentieth-century British gardening
Carol Klein on THE WELL-TEMPERED GARDEN
A gardening classic, as essential to every gardener as a sharp pair of secateurs or a good space
Alan Titchmarsh
He was the most interesting plantsman I have ever known
SPECTATOR
Christopher Lloyd taught us that we don't necessarily have to do things very differently - just better, and with all our heart
INDEPENDENT
British horticulture is blessed with many inspired plantsmen and elegant writers, but rarely do those qualities combine as seamlessly as in Christopher Lloyd
