The Green Oasis: Transforming the Terrace into a Garden

The living conditions for the future terrace inhabitants are often quite harsh. With little soil, irregular water and nutrient supply, stronger winds on higher floors, and, not least, exposure to heat and cold, many plants struggle. Therefore, it's important to plan the elements of the terrace garden carefully.

While for some, a small table and a chair are enough to spend hours on their terrace, others prefer to create a trendy chill-out zone.

While you can, of course, place your flowers and herbs in standard flowerpots on your balcony, you might want to consider opting for larger planters instead. There are modular planters that allow you to green your walls. Additionally, boxes designed based on the raised bed principle not only provide better living conditions for your plants but also combine beautifully with practical furniture like benches and lounge chairs. This way, planters and garden furniture look seamlessly integrated. And when you move, you can take your valuable terrace furniture with you and add to it as needed.

When planting your green oasis, the plants can also support each other. If your main goal is to have plenty of greenery around you, you can play with various grass types. For example, you can first create an effective wind and privacy screen with a bamboo partition and then begin planting ornamental grasses in various heights. This way, not only will you feel better, but your plants will too.

Popular choices include lamp cleaner grasses with their unique flower shapes, as well as the fine-leaved feather grass or bear's fur fescue, which sway decoratively with the slightest breeze and help you quickly leave the everyday behind.
