Default Request for advice on Gardening above 1000 feet

My son and daughter-in-law have bought a cottage in North Wales which is
1000 feet (330 metres) above sea level. The garden and grounds have not
been cultivated for 30 too 40 years. They've made a start in clearing
the ground and are now wondering what will grow at that level. They are
interested in veg. and fruit trees predominately.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.




You might be interested in "Garden in the Hills" by Elizabeth West.
It's about a young couple who buy an old farm and try to create a
garden. It was in North Wales and was a thousand feet above sea level!
Maybe it's the same one!
