Terrace Gardening for Beginners

Book excerpt: Today, we have chosen a life that gives us very less opportunities to interact and experience the ecstasy of nature. In our busy lifestyle that pollutes nature to the maximum possible extent, setting our own green space at home can actually make you feel relaxed and also let you work towards a healthy living. The best place to setup a green environment without hassle in our home can be terrace. This is because terrace gardens get maximum sunlight, air, they are easy to maintain and also they are the best place to grow vegetables and flowers. In fact, terrace gardening is a type of therapy method that people follow to get rid of stress and breathing problems. A terrace garden is the place that will enable you to think beyond a pot! A small terrace with flat surface which receives sunlight for about 2 to 3 hours in a day is more than enough to set up a beautiful terrace garden. All you need is one hour in a day that can also be split in to 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening for managing your terrace garden. With little bit of extra effort and interest you can enjoy harvesting your own produce at your terrace that is 100% organic and pesticide free. If vegetables are not your interest then think of a therapy garden on your terrace with herbs and flowers that can give you a pleasant fragrance while they relieve you from a series of health problems.
