The gardening world lost one of its most inspired plantsmen and garden writers when Christopher Lloyd passed away in January, 2006. He spent a lifetime practicing and refining his art at Great Dixter, his rambling Sussex Manor in southeast Britain. He used Great Dixter's Long Border (a 70yd by 15ft mixed border) as his playground and it serves as an example throughout Succession Planting. This book is a lively and informative guide to achieving the longest season of interest in your garden--from choosing and combining plants to the nuts and bolts of maintenance. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of color photographs. 192 pages. Hardcover.
