12m Documentary

Photographer, filmmaker and biodynamic gardener Howard Sooley began visiting Great Dixter in the late 1980s and developed a deep connection with the 15t century house and its renowned gardens in East Sussex. Great Dixter was home to gardener and garden writer Christopher Lloyd, who devoted himself to the garden from childhood until his. death in 2006 in a symbiotic relationship that defined both man and garden. Sooley's film celebrates the exceptional biodiversity and beauty of the garden with a tenderness that reflects the activities of its gardeners.
