From the Publisher
Practical thoughts on marginal gardening
A truly intriguing, poetic, and thought-provoking book. The author has tended eight acres of spectacularly scenic hillside in the severe climate of the Scottish highlands for some 40 years. Based on the experience in his own "marginal" garden, G. F. Dutton offers ideas for those who are grappling with the delights and challenges of owning a similar piece of rural land. The marginal garden is defined by the author as one that differs as little as possible from the surrounding wildness, thus requiring little maintenance, yet enhanced just enough by caring human touch to satisfy the owner’s desire for garden adventure and pleasure.
