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.

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.

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.
