Explanation:

Step1: Convert meters to inches

$68 \text{ meters} \times 39.37 \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{meter}} = 2677.16 \text{ inches}$

Step2: Convert inches to feet

$\frac{2677.16 \text{ inches}}{12 \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{foot}}} \approx 223.10 \text{ feet}$

Step3: Compare fencing lengths

$200 \text{ feet} < 223.10 \text{ feet}$

Answer:

No, 200 feet of fencing is not enough to enclose the garden. The garden's perimeter converts to approximately 223.10 feet, which is longer than the 200 feet of fencing purchased.
