What can you grow in a high exposed garden?

Question

I’m considering taking on a plot in the southwest, altitude 220 m, south facing, quite exposed. Currently a blank sheet. Is it possible to make a garden? I would like to plant trees, fruit and veg, but also cottage garden plants. Local land is used for pasture. Thanks.

Answer 1

Determining your garden areas Microclimate is the first step in this process.

Soil testing is another important step.

Also, check with your local garden centers for regional advice and plants.
