Great Dixter Garden Photography
With Ian Pack
Working with photographer & workshop leader Ian Pack there will be ample opportunities to create some very special images of this wonderful garden. During the day Ian will show participants how to control available light to create stunning close-up and macro images of specimen plants and blooms and magnificent wide shots of the extensive grounds.
Great Dixter Garden is a photographers and horticulturalists delight and one of the great gardens of the world, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe.
" Christopher Lloyd OBE VMH was a rare individual. An intelligent and controversial gardener, he became a magnet to horticulturists around the world. He was born at Great Dixter-one of the country's largest surviving medieval timber framed halls, which his family bought in 1910-and lived there all his life.
During Christopher's life, the 57-acre Great Dixter estate was the focus of his energy and enthusiasm. He spent his long and distinguished horticultural career practising and communicating his dynamic approach to gardening through his columns in The Guardian and Country Life magazine and in numerous books. Everything he wrote became required reading for those with a real interest in plants and plantsmanship. Since 1991, much of the success of the garden has been due to the unique relationship between Christopher Lloyd and Fergus Garrett, the Head Gardener, who inspired one another to create the most "generous garden imaginable" and one of the best documented."
Places are limited to 12.
