Nic's Rooftop Terrace garden

Created on Sunday, 13 Jul 08

Yay! Finally a space that is a little wider than a windowsill!

From my perspective, the possibilities are endless now and I’ve hugely excited about what I can grow in this space!

The dimensions of the terrace are 5.79m x 3.35m (thats 19’ x 11’ apparently) and being a roof terrace gets lots of fantastic sunshine through most of the day.

Garden Type: Rooftop | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Potting Mix
