He was a friend to many here at UBC - we'll have a written account on the weblog by Friday upcoming. If you'd like to read some of the articles on his passing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai...1.xml&sSheet=/portal/2006/01/30/ixportal.html http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,1697891,00.html
Very bad new indeed. He was a great gardener. I went many times to Great Dixter founding new things all the times. Wonderful exotic garden, long border and "prairie fleurie". His head gardener Fergus will continue...Christo will miss.
Some of the researchers, staff and Friends of the Garden at UBC have remembered Christopher Lloyd here: http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/weblog/001308.php
