Commentary.

In a similar way to the influence of Sissinghurst Gardens,
Great Dixter’s evolution has had a profound effect
on the wider development of English Country Gardens.
The flower borders, here, are quite spectacular.
Mature trees, extensive lawns and borders ranging from Dahlias and Pampas Grass to Chrysanthemum to Bamboo.
There is also present orchards and wild flower meadows to attract pollinating insects.
In a sheltered part of the estate there is even a tropical area with New Zealand Cabbage Palms, Date Palms, Yuccas and Banana plants.
The house itself is mostly 15th. Century and is half-timbered,
with an enormous porch and leaded windows.
The site is now owned and managed by the National Trust
and is something of a horticultural showground that is very impressive indeed.
