I’m a great fan of Terrace Gardening and I liked what was done on top of this building on Old Mahabalipuram Road in Chennai. The thick foliage of bamboo acts as an effective visual screen from the hustle and bustle of the traffic below.

I’ve been planning to do a similar thing on top of our apartment terrace. If you know a good horticulturalist who can help guide on the right way to go, please do let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Kiruba,
    why don’t you walk into that building and check out there itself? I am sure they’ll be happy to talk about this good thing.

    Beautiful…provided you don’t have to bother too much about pest control. Check out this building in Ireland fully covered in green in my blog post…

    Bamboo consumes a lot of water. Might not be ecologically sustainable. Cactus is probably better suited for Chennai.
