Book Description:
A truly intriguing, poetic, & thought-provoking book. The author lives in the Scottish highlands, with poor soil & a harsh climate. His "marginal" garden by design differs as little as possible from the surrounding wildness, requires little maintenance, yet satisfies the essential requirement of any garden by giving its owner pleasure.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 191 pages. This is the story of a unique garden carved out of nine acres of hillside in the Scottish Highlands by Geoffrey Dut ton, molecular biologist, climber, poet and white-water swimmer. It is a magical world, part cultivated, part wilderness, of glens , caves, native woodland and wild river, sustained by an understa nding of and respect for its ecological balance. The author descr ibes his 40 years' adventure of bringing together the climate, sc enery, flora and fauna of a dramatic piece of landscape into a sa tisfying whole. He shows how the various components - native and introduced - co-operate season by season and how they are tuned t o give maximum pleasure and minimum work throughout the year. Com paring his own garden to any largeish site in a marginal area, he demonstrates how the principles of planning and planting are the same everywhere, allowing the reader the pleasure of applying th em to the challenge of a particular location.
