World renowned garden writer Christopher Lloyd dies (not the actor)

[Atlas Mugged]

Gardener who devoted his life to Great Dixter and wrote for 'Country Life' for more than 40 years.

British horticulture is blessed with many inspired plantsmen and elegant writers, but rarely do those qualities combine as seamlessly as in Christopher Lloyd. The inheritor of a classic English garden to which he devoted his entire life, he was uniquely able to transmit his passion to gardeners - and even to those with only a marginal interest in the topic - in numerous compelling books and weekly articles spanning almost half a century.

3. "Gardeners Against Bush"???

I LOVE it!!!

I'm a horticulurist so I'd love to be able to use that on my car, but, even though I'm in a blue state (NY) I'm in a REALLY red county so I occasionally fear for my life; well, the "gay" thing doesn't help, either. I moved here from New Orleans in 1992 just to have acerage to really play with but found a house I love (with attached Lord & Burnam greenhouse and 1/4 acre natural pond out the front door) in yahooville.
