To see a meadow in bloom is a great delight—it’s alive and teeming with life, mysterious, dynamic and seemingly out of our control . . .
So Christopher Lloyd began his book on meadows, first published in 2004. No one knew more about meadow gardening than Lloyd, who spent much of his long life developing the flowering tapestries in his garden at Great Dixter, in the UK. In Meadows, he imparted that lifetime’s learning, exploring the development and management of meadow areas, explaining how to establish a meadow in a garden setting, and describing the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs, and perennials and annuals that thrive in different meadow conditions. Lloyd's classic text remains at the heart of this new book. However, here Fergus Garrett, Christopher Lloyd's head gardener and his successor at Great Dixter, greatly expands and develops the theme of meadow gardening. Garrett's introduction is accompanied by brand new photography by Carol Casselden. This edition is completely redesigned.

Fergus Garrett went to Great Dixter as head gardener in 1992 and worked closely with Christopher Lloyd for the next 15 years.

Review:
`Ideal for those wanting their own wildflower patch' * Daily Mail * `Inspiring imagery.' * The English Garden * "Meadows is an inspiring book, factual and enchanting. Whether you have vast acres or a tiny suburban plot, it will encourage you to look at meadows with a new awareness and tempt you to try converting an area of your garden into your own wildlife haven, full of natural and unpretentious beauty. A highly recommended read." * Cottage Gardener * "A new look at Meadows, in an updated edition, is as timely as ever. In this comprehensive book, every type of meadow is discussed, from bulbs to the "cornfield scene."" * Gardenista * "Packed with practical tips....This breezy mix of gardening, appreciation of natural processes and symbioses with other species makes the book very engaging and enjoyable. These evolving meadow diaries are set to become classics." * World of Interiors * "For anyone caring for an existing meadow, or thinking of taking one on, the information contained here is priceless." * Professional Gardener *
