Tiny and Wild: Build a Small-Scale Meadow Anywhere

“The Introduction of this book asks you a question: ‘Why a Mini Meadow?’ You may have picked the book up because you are curious, along with emotional, about living a life shared with other living beings aside from people. You want to come to know how to find a small space and have it fulfill your imagination by creating a natural community of plants that live well together. Here you’ll find beauty in plants and the acts of planting, caring, and discovering a life within that community.” * Roy Diblik, co-owner of Northwind Perennial Farm and author of The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden *  “Graham shows how to grow in tune with local site conditions – thinking of garden plants not as high-maintenance individuals but as a community that can adapt and thrive together. By bridging ideas from traditional and wilder design methods, this practical introduction to natural landscaping helps those with any-sized landscape create an aesthetically and environmentally purposeful space.”  * Benjamin Vogt, author of A New Garden Ethic and Prairie Up * “This beautifully illustrated guide distills years of small meadow making experience into clear and inspiring tips and techniques that guide you through design, installation, and meadow management.” * Claudia West, Principal at Phyto Studios, co-author of Planting in a Post-Wild World * "Avid gardeners and novices alike wil learn practical advice and basic principles of successful design in creating their own mini meadows." * Cape Cod HOME * "...does a fantastic job of mixing whimsical design with the practicality of creating your meadow-like yard. Many of the pictures throughout the book are gorgeous and useful, giving you information on how certain plants look and various techniques and tools.

Rather, it is a handbook that tells you exactly what you need to do to create a mini meadow garden...Graham walks you through every part of the process in precise detail, but manages to write in a tone that is conversational, like he’s a friend explaining it to you." * Living Small by Laura Fenton *
