Synopsis
A marginal garden is a large piece of ground (over half an acre) that is minimally differentiated from its surroundings, and can therefore be designed and tended with a minimal expenditure of time and money. The author explains the general principles of marginal gardening and their specific application to a nine-acre garden he built in the Scottish Highlands. He focuses on rural sites and on the behavior of plant species in high latitude and altitude European sites. Includes maps and b&w photos of the garden.

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.
