This collection is a token of gratitude for the gift of our own meadow, and for every card sold, a donation will be made to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust - after all, you are what you give.

Great Dixter was home to illustrious gardener and celebrated writer Christopher Lloyd (1921-2006) for over 40 years, and is now under the stewardship of the Great Dixter Charitable Trust. Lloyd created untamed expanses of grasses and wildflowers - including many rare species of orchid - punctuated with bulbs and his beloved topiary that were prized for their beauty, but as importantly, for their maintenance of plant and wildlife diversity. Since the Second World War, 95% of Britain's species-rich ancient meadows have been lost, and this collaboration aims to support the work Great Dixter continues to do to promote and encourage the restoration of such habitats

Available as part of the Great Dixter Box Set of 12 cards.
