The Great Dixter Charitable Trust is a charity organization that offers adult education courses, including study days, week-long courses, lectures, and workshops. The organization was founded in 2003 by Christopher Lloyd and is based in Rye, UK. The courses are run by Head Gardener Fergus Garrett and other Dixter staff and friends with an intimate knowledge of the garden. The Great Dixter is actually three houses, one built in the mid-15th century with slightly later additions, the second a farmer's house from Kent, built in the early 16th century and moved here in 1910, and the third combines the two with additional accommodation, completed in 1912. The CEO is Fergus Garrett.
