Further information below!

At The Meadow, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of our beloved dogs. We understand that the olfactory experience of our botanicals is a unique journey for many. Purchasing our products is a privilege, not a necessity for dog guardianship. That's why The Meadow is giving back.
We invite you to nominate someone, either in private message or commenting - they don't need to be active on social media - who has a dog that would benefit from experiencing a variety of botanicals from The Meadow. This could be a dog who lives in a bustling town or city, a rescue dog who hasn't had the opportunity to enjoy different scents, or an older or sick dog who may not be able to go out as much.
This nomination period is open until January 31st. Names will be randomly selected, and three people will receive a gift pack from us. This opportunity is available worldwide.
We value your honesty in this campaign. Our goal is to provide additional enrichment to those who may not be able to purchase our products for various reasons. We want these gift packs to go to those who will benefit the most, both the human and the dog.

With love, from The Meadow.

Some of 2025s new botanicals!

Three new colour confettis:
Goshawk - beautiful white tones with hints of yellow and green.
Fairy-Wren - blue, blue, blue!! Blue is hard to find in nature, so we've worked hard to grow and harvest the bluest we can.
Sunset - self explanatory, this confetti is all about the beautiful Tasmanian sunsets.
Plus new flowers:
Rose flowers - small roses dried whole, the perfect little statement flower.
Zucchini flowers - beautiful, bright yellow flowers that have a taste like zucchini!
Carrot flowers - use as a statement or easily crumble to add a unique taste to meals.
Valerian flowers - stunning soft purple and cream flowers with a rich history.

All orders placed in January automatically go into the draw to win a Meadow Merch set, plus two jars of confetti of your choice!

I’d rather be gardening.
The Meadow was formed of a love of gardening, flowers, and dogs, not admin tasks/paperwork. Today is a rainy, miserable day, so I can't escape to the garden to avoid those tasks. I thought I’d use this opportunity to share about us, The Meadow, and why we are not focused on expanding/trying to beat the competition.
The Meadow was not created with the goal of dominating the pet industry. Instead, we wanted to share a part of our life and journey with people around the world. We prefer to remain small to maintain the highest quality botanicals, work directly with the land, and nature, not against it. This has led us to decline wholesale deals from companies worldwide. While we are honoured that people want to share The Meadow, we prioritise our land over profits.
The Meadow takes time. It is so much more than packing flowers into jars. We sow the seeds, mulch, improve soil, w**d, water, plant care, harvest, dry, condition, package, all before shipping to you. It’s time-consuming, but it’s work we love and enjoy because it allows us to share a part of our journey with you. This means we are not very active on social media, especially during the main growing season, and sometimes,messages/shares may take longer to be answered. I, Shannon, have 3 wonderful children who are my biggest supporters. After school and on weekends, I like to step away from work to be present in their lives. Orders are often packed and emails/dms are sent during the early/late hours of the day when the kids are asleep, and my partner and I catch up on our days. I miss messages, tags, or comments, and for that, I apologise. I truly value and appreciate each and every one, as that is what The Meadow is all about. However, for the sake of my family and myself, I can't be available 24/7.
The Meadow is one part of our lives. We cultivate around 70% of the fruits and vegetables that feed our multi-gen family of 7, plus our animals. Any extra produce is preserved for winter when we're in hibernation or donated to local shelters. This aligns with our commitment to sustainable living and prioritising the joy of our lifestyle over money.
With love from all in The Meadow

The news so many have been waiting for..Hollyhocks are blooming!!

It has been a rough start to the season this year, including the 70ml of rain we've had in the last two days (with another 30 forecast for tomorrow), the cold temperatures, and winds have also impacted on our plants. So, seeing these bloom has been a wonderful pick me up.

It's too early to tell how many we will have this season, and they won't be available until early next year - as we need to harvest, dry, and condition them before selling - but I wanted to share the news of them knowing this is what people have been waiting for!

🌼 Welcome to The Meadow! The world's first in producing edible flowers specially selected for dogs. 🌼

The Meadow was established with the intention of enriching the lives of dogs in a natural, organic, and sustainable manner. All of the botanicals we offer are safe for our beloved canine companions, and they are cultivated on our property using organic and sustainable practices. Our primary focus is on working with nature rather than against it, which involves minimising artificial scents generated by machinery. Instead, we choose to do manual planting, w**ding, harvesting, and packaging of all our botanicals on-site.

Dogs possess a heightened sense of smell and are consistently exposed to synthetic scents in their surroundings. Our selection of botanicals provides a natural fragrance that offers a reprieve from the chaos of daily life, allowing your dog to embark on a unique olfactory journey.

Do you see what I see?
Swipe to see if you're right 👀

This little guy is a pobblebonk!

Or eastern banjo frog, Limnodynastes dumerilii, if you prefer - and while it's usually heart stopping when we find one, because they blend right in and when w**ding and we've come close a few times to bonking them (not intentionally, of course!), it's always wonderful seeing them because frogs are considered indicator species, which means they provide insights into the overall health of ecosystems and the biodiversity they support.
Frogs have highly permeable skin that can easily absorb bacteria, chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins, so the fact that we have so many of these guys shows just how much we care first and foremost, about the land. It would be so much easier to use herbicides and pesticides to control w**ds and harmful insects, but the environmental cost for us is way too high. So we grow sustainably and organically to ensure this little guy - and all the other species - habitats are safe for many years to come.

Introducing two of our new botanicals!

Catkins | Betula pendula
One of the more unique botanicals we offer, catkins are a type of flower cluster - when fresh, they have a bitter taste, but once dried, that transforms into a nutty flavour. Catkins can be added whole, but we like to crumble them up to add a flavour boost.

Brassica flowers | Brassica oleracea spp.
Similar to the catkins, these can be added whole or crumbled up. Our brassica flowers have fast become a favourite with the dogs of The Meadow - as they have a taste which is very similar to roasted broccoli!

Website will be reopening October 21st at 8am (AEDT) Thank you for your patience.

The orchard and gardens are currently bustling with hover flies (Melangyna sp.), which play a crucial role in pollinating flowers and controlling aphid populations. These industrious insects dart about and ensure the health and vitality of our plants. Their larvae are particularly voracious eaters of aphids, helping to keep these pests in check.

To attract hover flies, we strategically leave sacrificial plants in the orchard and garden to be colonised by aphids in early spring. This creates a natural food source for the hover fly larvae, encouraging their presence in the garden.

In essence, by providing prey for predator insects like hover flies, we are able to maintain a healthy balance in our garden ecosystem. This approach not only benefits our plants but also promotes biodiversity and sustainability.

The photos show a hover fly on purple broccoli and one of the sacrifical kohl rabi with aphids. These images capture the beauty and complexity of nature at work in our garden and help show how we grow sustainably and work to ensure the land is looked after, long after we're gone.

Puffin is popping in to share some of his amazing meals.

Flowers from The Meadow are different from others on the market due to our growing methods. Tasmania is known for having some of the cleanest air in the world, and we take pride in hand-growing and harvesting our flowers. This ensures that our botanicals are not exposed to unnecessary artificial scents that can diminish their natural fragrances.

Because we are a small-scale operation, it allows us to carefully select and pick each flower at its peak rather than harvesting the entire plant at once. This means you're getting the best quality flowers and petals.

If you have any questions about The Meadow, we're always happy to answer.

The Meadow is still on holiday, so all orders made that include our Halloween collection: Something Wicked, will automatically be bumped up to express shipping until the 16th of October and sent from the 16th - no code needed, we'll take care of it!

An amazing meal by

Such a beautifully presented meal featuring our Meadow Mixer - a custom-made blend as chosen by you to best suit your beloved dog ❤️ build your custom blend on our website!

This is a question we get asked a lot, and we love that people support The Meadow so much that they'd love to be an ambassador for us - however, it's not something we'll be doing in the foreseeable future.
In lieu of ambassadors, when a new product/colourway is going to be launched, we select a few customers whose posts we love to be our testers before launching. The only prerequisite to being picked is that you have purchased something from The Meadow.

We love seeing all the stories and posts that you share. It honestly fills us all with joy seeing The Meadow loved by so many! So keep sharing and tagging us. There are a few products that are going to be launched towards the end of October, as well as new ones towards the end of the year and early next year which we can't wait to share with you!

Guess that seedling! Then swipe to see if you got it 👀

These are some of our most popular flowers - as petals they add a pop of colour, and whole flowers are perfect for adding a special touch to enrichments and special treats (even if that treat is a "just because".)

Our annual flowers start out in the greenhouse where they are planted as seeds, and when they're ready - they get planted out, the greenhouse was designed and built by the garden witch's husband to meet her requirements, with aid from all the family - like paw prints from the dogs in the ferrocement ledge.

Did you guess the plant?

The Meadow is located in the NW of Tasmania - we grow all the botanicals organically and sustainably, and they don't leave our property until they're on their way to you 🌱

Need a cup of positivi-tea to get you through?
We've got you covered!
Our Meadow Refreshers, single teabags are launching soon. These are perfect for having on hand and are ideal for camping trips - what's better than a warm cupper under the stars?

There are five unique tea blends to choose from, or you can purchase the full set of five.
Sage Advice - piquant blend
Oh, Brew It - refreshing blend
Anti Anxie-Tea - woodsy blend
Gingko, Please - fruity/floral blend
Calendula and Chill - earthy blend

These blends have been curated based on uses throughout history. While there is limited research on potential benefits of these botanicals, we like to focus on the unique olfactory experience that each cup will bring your canine companion.

Taste preference is unique to each individual, human and canine, while some dogs may enjoy the teas as is, others may prefer a touch of honey - we like local honeycomb - or their favourite powdered treat, freeze dried or dehydrated, mixed in.

Meadow Refreshers will be launching on the 16/09 at 8am AEST (along with our Halloween collection - Something Wicked).

At Dogs In The Meadow, we pride ourselves on growing and producing the highest quality of organically and sustainably grown edible flowers for our beloved canines. All our botanicals are grown on our own property in Tasmania, and don't leave until they're on their way to you.

What better day than Friday the 13th to share our super special Halloween collection: Something Wicked🧙🏻

This collection includes an extra large mix of our Halloween confetti - flowers specially chosen for this blend include dark red sunflowers, and nasturtium that dry to almost black, crepe myrtle flowers for a deep red touch, and some of our favourites such as cornflower, pansy and more! The confetti is topped with a beautiful black hollyhock flower, the perfect addition to a spooky (but fancy) enrichment.

Something Wicked also includes a jar of our limited red corn silk - this has been curing since being harvested at the end of the growing season and has been put aside, especially for this collection!

The final piece to this collection is a set of cookies from the amazing these are absolutely incredible and pair beautifully with the dark confetti.

When you order Something Wicked, simply put your dogs name or word of choice in the notes section, and we'll add it to the confetti label. What better way to enjoy Halloween than having your own Conjuring Potion 🔮

Launching 16/09 8am (AEST) along with our single use tea collection, which features two new blends, more on those soon!

Take a stroll and see where your flowers are from! Being able to show you where the flowers you give to your dogs come from is one of the parts I love about The Meadow. As a dog (and cat) guardian, I know how frustrating it can be not knowing where something is from - so we strive to show all aspects of The Meadow, from the sowing and harvesting, to the less glamourous (like the aphid picture). These new botanicals will be available on Monday 21st October at 8am (AEDT). The website is currently unavailable until then for maintenance. 🌱Sustainable growing, production, and packaging 🌻The Meadow is a world's first in producing edible flowers specially selected for dogs.

This is a question that I am frequently asked. Many of our flowers and herbs have a rich history of providing various medical benefits, such as aiding in gut health, alleviating anxiety, reducing pain, and potentially lowering the risk of certain cancers and diseases. So why don't I actively promote these benefits? I believe in transparency and honesty when it comes to my products. While there is evidence supporting the health benefits of these plants, there has not been extensive research conducted on how these benefits specifically translate to canines. Additionally, the levels of beneficial compounds can vary significantly among different varieties of flowers. For example, the carotenoids in pansies vary based on the flower's colour and openness when picked. The flavonoid content in calendula can also differ greatly depending on the variety, the environmental conditions during growth, and the time of day they are harvested. Considering these factors, I do not feel comfortable promoting the health benefits of these plants, as I do not individually test each batch of flowers. Instead, I focus on promoting the benefits that I can guarantee. These include providing a unique sensory experience for dogs through taste and smell, especially for those who may be overwhelmed by artificial scents like gasoline or household fragrances.

I offer bad dance moves and off-key singing while picking flowers for you to add to your dogs meals and enrichments 💁🏼‍♀️ Well, not always, because sometimes it's podcasts about 💀 but it's about balance! There are a few new exciting things happening in the next few weeks: a new product that the "meadow mix tin testers" have been trying out, the winter collection (with a special limited release tea), and our herb mix! So stick around for all the details and dance moves. #sustainableflowers #dogsinthemeadow #australiansmallbusiness #organicflowers #edibleflowers #lutruwita #flowerfarmer

De gustibus non est disputandum. There's no accounting for taste. I often get told that people's dogs don't enjoy the tea, and that's not surprising. Many humans don't enjoy a cup of herbal tea, so it makes sense that dogs don't. There are a few different ways you can add to the flavour of the tea. Add in some flowers: red clover is one of Echo's favourites, as is the callistemon citrinus flowers from the Meadow Tea Chest. Add a touch of honey: just like with humans, some like their tea with a touch of sweetness. I use local honey. Favourite toppers: adding in a bit of your dogs favourite topper is also a great way to add a flavour they enjoy. Finally: pour over your dogs meal. I regularly serve tea poured over dinner, especially in winter. A warm cuppa is a wonderful to warm up. Remember, ensure the tea is adequately cooled before serving. If you're in a rush, a few ice cubes are a great way to quickly cool it down. Does your dog enjoy a cuppa? Echo and I regularly share one while spilling the tea - you won't believe what the dog next door did 😏 #teafordogs #dogsinthemeadow #smallbusiness #australiansmallbusiness #edibleflowers #sustainableflowers #organicflowers
