When I moved to<br />
Warren, Vermont<br />
in 1964 my rented<br />
house had no<br />
lawn or garden<br />
and my ride was<br />
a new Series IIA<br />
<strong>The</strong> Blue Bird Special Wedding Wagon awaits Trent and Heidi 88”. I thought that<br />
Smith in front of the Waitsfield United Church circa 1968. a flower garden<br />
would be a nice touch and perhaps attract the ladies. Where to place<br />
it and how to show it off? I noticed that along the edges of the back<br />
roads of Vermont there was a wonderful seasonal display of daisies<br />
and patches of vibrant day lilies sprinkled throughout. <strong>The</strong>y seemed<br />
to be tolerant of road salt and oils, and were constantly buffeted by<br />
the wind of passing cars and trucks. In one of those wonderful<br />
moments of clarity (this was the ‘60s) I had a revelation that instead<br />
of passing by the roadside flora, it should whizz along with me in the<br />
bed of my “Blue Bird” Series IIA.<br />
Family owned by enthusiasts since 1979<br />
Memories of a IIA Story & Photo by Harvey Geiger<br />
During that summer most ladies were going topless at the swimming<br />
holes on Mad River and my Landy joined the crowd. I fitted<br />
her out with a tailgate and appropriated some soil from the side of<br />
Route 100 to partially fill the back bed. I carried a folding army<br />
shovel and now-and-again would pause and dig up some roadside<br />
botany for my growing flower garden. I discovered that I could water<br />
the garden with the hose at home or at Hap’s, our local gas<br />
station, and control the amount of sun/shade by choosing my<br />
parking location.<br />
<strong>The</strong> garden was a great success and I would vary it as the summer<br />
progressed. It would have been a dandy addition as a flower<br />
wagon for a funeral procession, but my generation was not in the<br />
dying phase but busy making babies. So it became a vehicle of<br />
choice for weddings within my group of friends. For the second season<br />
I planted my Landy Garden in removable boxes which could be<br />
slipped out, and placed upon my stone wall. Each box contained a<br />
unique planting and although I did not attempt corn, I had great<br />
agricultural success. I didn’t try my luck at a farmer’s market, but<br />
perhaps it would prove to be great marketing gimmick to sell produce<br />
“Grown on the Roads of Vermont” Just imagine a truck garden<br />
in your own driveway!<br />
