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.

Getting Started with Terrace Gardening

• Ensure proper sunlight (5–7 hours daily)

• Use lightweight containers and grow bags

• Choose well-draining soil and organic compost

• Install a drip irrigation system for easy watering

Terrace gardening is not just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle change toward self-sufficiency and sustainability.
