    I've never been but it's near the top of my list of must see gardens. If you have read any of Christopher Lloyd's book then I reckon you'll love it.

        I've not been for about 8 years but I'd love to go again. I really like Christo's down to earth and iconoclastic approach, he didn't just churn out the same old guff, he talked about what he'd discovered and experienced and he always tried new things.

        He was still alive when I was there, they had him parked in the potting shed. Quite a scary character!
