On the earth, many changes are occurring, and change or variety is the essence of life. Changes from a joint to a nuclear family, from a rural to an urban environment, and from poor to healthy eating habits. With so much change happening in the city, people have expressed an interest in having their garden or as we would say home garden. Most Indian towns are densely populated, it is difficult for everyone to have their ideal dream garden. On the ground, people are increasingly opting for a personalized garden on their balcony or terrace. This blog discusses terrace gardening, including how to get started and the benefits and drawbacks.

The art of growing flower or vegetable crops on a house's terrace rather than on normal ground is known as terrace gardening. A terrace garden is simple to set up because it just requires a few items such as pots or grow bags, media such as soil, vermicompost, or organic manure to raise plants, seeds, and rose can to meet irrigation demands. Anyone with a keen interest in plants can start a terrace garden.
