« CHRISTOPHER LLOYD ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in 20th-century British gardening. /…/He had been experimenting with flowering meadows and American “prairie gardening” long before there were any serious attempts to use the new German and Dutch style of planting massed perennials in Britain; his book Meadows, of 2004, is the best on the subject. » The Times 30 January 2006
LETTUCE FIELD AS BIG AS A SKY-SCRAPER BUILDING by Helmut Dick
10.000 lettuces were grown right beside a sky scraper, on a 1200m² field which is as big as the façade of the building. After a growing period of 5 weeks the salad heads were ready for harvest. These were given to the local inhabitants during the one week harvest period.
