Should you wish to include Great Dixter in your Will, the following legal wording may prove helpful.

For a Pecuniary Gift of a specific sum:
‘I give the sum of £ (or the item specified) to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, Great Dixter, Northiam, Rye, TN31 6PH, Registered Charity No: 1103355 for its charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer of Great Dixter Charitable Trust for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.’

For a Residuary Gift of the residue of your estate:
‘I give the residue of my estate to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, Great Dixter, Northiam, Rye, TN31 6PH, Registered Charity No: 1103355 for its charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer of Great Dixter Charitable Trust for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.’

For a Partial Residuary Gift of a percentage of your estate:
‘I give (percentage or fraction) of my residuary estate to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, Great Dixter, Northiam, Rye, TN31 6PH, Registered Charity No: 1103355 for its charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer of Great Dixter Charitable Trust for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.’

Christopher Lloyd bequeathed his share in Great Dixter to the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, along with some of his investments and the royalties on his books. However, there is no substantial endowment attached to the estate and the creation of such a fund would be extremely helpful in maintaining the innovative and intensive planting style of this important garden. If you would like to contribute by making a donation in your will, we would be most grateful.
