Great Dixter, Historic garden and country house in Northiam, England.

The fifteen-acre garden combines structured topiary, mixed borders, meadows, and an orchard surrounding a restored medieval manor house with timber-framed architecture.

Architect Edwin Lutyens merged a mid-15th century house with another Tudor building from Kent in 1912, creating the current Great Dixter residence.

Christopher Lloyd spent his life developing innovative planting combinations at Great Dixter, influencing garden design through his books and teachings.

The Great Dixter garden welcomes visitors from April to October, while the nursery operates year-round selling plants propagated on the estate.

Three 18th-century oast houses share a single roof within the grounds, exemplifying traditional Kentish agricultural architecture.
