Today, we have chosen a life that gives us very less opportunities to interact and experience the ecstasy of nature. 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. This is because terrace gardens get maximum sunlight, air, they are easy to maintain and also they are the best place to grow vegetables and flowers. 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. All you need is one hour in a day that can also be split in to 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening for managing your 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. If vegetables are not your interest then think of a therapy garden on your terrace with herbs and flowers that can give you a pleasant fragrance while they relieve you from a series of health problems.

With few exceptions-such as corn and pumpkins-everything edible that's grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. And with only one exception-watering-container gardening is a whole lot easier. Beginning with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun and water, fertilizer, seeds and propagation, The Bountiful Container is an extraordinarily complete, plant-by-plant guide. Written by two seasoned container gardeners and writers, The Bountiful Container covers Vegetables-not just tomatoes (17 varieties) and peppers (19 varieties), butharicots verts, fava beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia beets, and sugarsnap peas. Herbs, from basil to thyme, and including bay leaves, fennel, and saffron crocus. Edible Flowers, such as begonias, calendula, pansies, violets, and roses. And perhaps most surprising, Fruits, including apples, peaches, Meyer lemons, blueberries, currants, and figs-yes, even in the colder parts of the country. (Another benefit of container gardening: You can bring the less hardy perennials in over the winter.) There are theme gardens (an Italian cook's garden, a Four Seasons garden), lists of sources, and dozens of sidebars on everything from how to be a human honeybee to seeds that are All America Selections.

Do you live in an apartment with a balcony, fire escape or rooftop terrace? Most city dwellers neglect these spaces or use them for nothing more than hanging laundry and storing bicycles. And for a long time, so did I. Several years ago I decided to transform my under-used balcony from a lifeless concrete pad into a little garden in the sky. Every year I grow a small harvest of vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, beans and peas, and more than enough herbs to satisfy our culinary needs. Sometimes I even grow watermelons. You don't need to live in the country or have a big yard to own a productive garden. This book will guide you through the challenges of container gardening in one of the most sterile of urban environments: a high-rise balcony. With topics including: Container gardening basics Small space composting and vermicomposting Starting plants indoors from seed Self-watering containers Hand-pollination Diagnosing common plant problems And detailed growing instructions for all of my favorite garden herbs and vegetables
