Don’t Waste Your Terrace Space – Start Terrace Gardening
In urban Pakistan, space is limited—but rooftops and terraces are often left unused. Terrace gardening is an excellent way to transform empty spaces into green, productive, and refreshing environments.
Why Terrace Gardening Makes Sense
1. Grow Your Own Food
You can easily grow:
-
Spinach, lettuce, coriander
-
Tomatoes, chilies, radish
-
Herbs like mint and basil
Fresh, chemical-free produce right from your home!
2. Reduce Heat & Improve Insulation
Plants naturally cool the surroundings, reducing indoor temperatures and electricity costs during hot summers.
3. Better Mental Health
Gardening reduces stress, improves mood, and reconnects you with nature—especially valuable in busy city life.
4. Efficient Use of Space
With grow bags, vertical planters, and drip irrigation, even small terraces can become productive gardens.
