Quietly at Great Dixter




 We arrived early


 and although we could distantly hear 


Fergus Garrett the head gardener


mowing the meadow grass


and glimpsed one young man loping away


with garden twine


hanging from both back pockets,


it was a rare chance 


for the flowers


to make the loudest statements







in Christopher Lloyd's exuberant September garden.


Where the usual throng was that day
we never found out.
