Summary

The inspiring story of how one man, with limited funds, created his dream garden in the desolate Scottish Borders

A Garden in the Hills Summary

A Garden in the Hills by Alan Tait

Many of us dream of a place in the country and this book tells of one particular story. Polmoodie was a derelict sheep farm in the Scottish borders when Alan Tait bought it, piece by piece in the 1980's. Twenty years later it has become an oasis in an otherwise desolate landscape, with poor soil, a hostile climate, and in the twentieth century blighted by the Forestry Commission's blanket planting of conifers. This book tells the story of how one man, with limited funds, created this garden in the hills, and it will inspire and captivate anyone who has shared the author's dream.

A Garden in the Hills Reviews

Beautifully illustrated chronicle of the spirit of a special place. Dundee Courier & Advertiser Will inspire and captivate anyone who dreams of reclaiming an old, ramshackle garden. Amateur Gardening Like all good stories, this one ends happily. Lavishly illustrated, this book must give even the armchair gardener food for thought. It may well spur others on to try a similar project, or perhaps just dream about it. Scots magazine
