Lawrence D. Hills

Lawrence D. Hills

Lawrence D. Hills (1911-1991) was a British horticulturalist, journalist, and writer, founder of the Henry Doubleday Research Association (HDRA), now Garden Organic. A strong advocate of organic farming, his autobiography is "Fighting Like the Flowers" (1989). He suffered from coeliac disease, which left him in a wheelchair, until introduced to a wheat-free diet by the woman who became his wife, Cherry Hilda Hills, a noted nutritionist.

Lawrence Hills died in 1990 [citeweb|url=http://www.thegears.co.uk/hdra.aspx|accessed=2008-03-36|title=HDRA History and Achievements] but was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Coventry University the same year.
