“You can’t grow a meadow garden in Australia”, stated an article in Horticulture Week (Rural Press, 1992). Really?

By all means experiment with plants, but if you don’t understand how differently individual species can behave in a foreign climate and soils, be sure to do your research first, or get informed advice.
