30m terrace garden with 400 kinds of plants
Having lived in the city for 4 years, the biggest harvest that Ms. Trinh in Shanghai (China) has achieved is from having a few small flower pots by the window until now she has her own garden. Her terrace garden is 30m² wide. It is planned to grow plants and vegetables along with an outdoor relaxing space.
According to Ms. Trinh, the terrace garden is home to more than 400 different types of plants. And you can clearly see this diversity when spring comes. The whole garden is covered with flowers such as roses, irises, daffodils, hydrangeas and countless other plants.
In addition to ornamental plants and flowers, the terrace is also a garden to grow vegetables for the family. Some vegetables and herbs commonly used in daily cooking such as tomatoes, radishes, rosemary, musk… are present in Ms. Trinh’s small garden.
When just moved to a new house, the terrace has been tiled by the investor before. However, for safety, Ms. Trinh still made another layer of waterproofing material. According to her, waterproofing is very important and can’t be saved because otherwise it will be a lot of trouble later.
In the process of planting trees on the terrace, Ms. Trinh also had to repair the existing plant pots. The low flowerpot makes the roots of the plant not firmly attached, which is easy to fall when encountering bad weather conditions. Therefore, Ms. Trinh had to build a higher flower bed to be able to meet the growing space for the roots.
Choosing the right soil for your terrace garden is also very important. The soil should not be too firm, it should be aerated and rich in nutrients. Fortunately, Ms. Trinh has found the type of soil available on the market that meets the requirements that are not as heavy as ordinary garden soil, porous and cheap.
In order for the plants in the garden to grow well, Ms. Trinh does not forget to provide adequate and regular nutrition. She uses organic kitchen waste to compost to fertilize her terrace garden.
The furnishing for an outdoor garden is also very different from that of an indoor one. The biggest difference is that outdoor furniture needs to be waterproof, resistant to many types of weather. Trinh finally found a satisfactory table set to put in the garden for moments of outdoor relaxation.
Don’t forget to choose outdoor lights as well. They will make the space in the garden change completely different from the daytime. In addition to decorative light strings, Ms. Trinh also chooses a solar lamp model, which helps to save electricity costs during use.
For Ms. Trinh, planting trees requires perseverance. There is no such thing as immediate results. Just like this terrace garden, it took 3 years of care to get the results it is today. But that process helps you get interesting experiences, full of precious life flavors.
