4. TERRACE GARDEN

TERRACE GARDEN

It is a garden arranged in various levels or terraces. Terrace gardening involves land raising and construction of steps, ramps, walls and paved paths as well as planting of lawn grasses and other plants. It is desirable to have plants on the terrace but it should be restricted to the edges so that the middle is left open for circulation. Since such gardens are mainly for relaxation, they should provide both sunny and shady areas. Terrace gardens must offer a fine year-round view of the entire garden. Addition of sculptured rocks, a small lily pond with a fountain and water plants will lend visual enrichment.
