Obviously a meadow garden itself garden is not for everyone. It does not belong in a single front yard in a suburban housing development where it will be surrounded by dozens of clipped and perfectly kept lawns. There the meadow garden itself would be viewed as a thorn among an acre of roses. But for a vacation home, a secluded backyard, or most any rural setting, such a garden is a joy to have that time. In the colder parts of the country, sow the seed in a spring.

The English meadow garden itself garden (itself first discussed in the late 1800s by William Robinson who suggested planting hardy bulbs in meadow garden itself grass and naturalizing wildflowers under trees on great lawns) is one such garden fashion. The idea has hit the "arts and leisure" sections of the major newspapers. At the same time "meadow garden itselfs-in-a-can* and "Monet's garden' have been featured by camping and hiking equipment companies, in upscale mail order catalogs. Their colorful ads suggest to readers that vast sweeps of garden color can be theirs with a minimum of work over a short period of time.

Well it's a lot harder to establish such gardens than just opening up a can and sprinkling seeds about as you will discover by reading the small print on the labels. But the effort is worth the work involved when you see how beautiful a well-established meadow garden itself garden can be. And what does a meadow garden itself garden look like? You get somewhat of an idea if in early summer under a clear blue sky you drive along a two-lane country road lined on either side with fields, in a county whose highway department does not use defoliants to rid the shoulder of what they love to call weeds. A meadow garden itself garden is tall, green grasses swaying in the wind and dotted everywhere with daisies and buttercups, it's bright pink mallows and pastel yellow cinquef oil, and it's butterflies—almost like in a Disney film—flying from flower to flower while shining yellow goldfinches dart from purple thistle to purple thistle.
