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.
