If your house is blessed with a terrace, convert it into a quaint garden. Here are some ideas how:

Ensure the space is strong enough to carry the weight of the garden.
Check for any leakages and fix them before you start working on the garden.
Effective drainage is essential; also make sure the terrace is slopping.
Make a detailed plan involving a balanced mix of lawns, shrubs, small trees and garden cover.
A rock garden or a water fountain are some of the other interesting elements that can be brought in.
Opt for fibre-rooted plants rather than the taprooted ones which may grow through the building and cause harm.
Choose the correct soil. Ideally blend together soil rite or peat moss with garden earth and manure.
Make place for a swing to sway among the greens in your leisure time.
Play with lights and see the mood change as the evening progresses.
You could try hydroponics for your terrace garden using which you can grow plants without using soil.
