A GARDENING GUIDE FOR HOME AND TERRACE

Terrace Plantings

Additional information more particular to terrace gardening (more to be added).

Be mindful of the rules of your building (are these complex-wide?), largely related to safety and to consideration of your neighbors:

• No hanging baskeds. Indeed no drilling into walls or ceiling of terrace.
• Window boxes are ok, but must hang inside not outside the railings
• No umbrellas to shade the plants from sun

For information on wildlife visitors to your terrace , birds and animals (which you may want to encourage or discourage), see the section Problems & Solutions

For a starter list of plants that do well on terraces, see Plant Selection - Terraces..  And for a discussion of the criteria on which to base your selection see Plant Selection Criteria.

For tips on plant survival through the winter, see the Seasonal Calendar

Please check back. We will update this section as information is developed.
