Meanwhile, On Gardenista: The Messy Garden

April 22, 2026

Welcome to Meanwhile, on Gardenista, in which we take a look at the goings-on over on our sibling site. In this week’s edition: Have you heard about the merits of the messy garden? Lush, overflowing, and just a little unruly, they’re havens for pollinators and have the look of a wild meadow. Here, three examples:
