garden terraces
Stepped outdoor beds
Garden terraces are level platforms cut into a slope to create flat planting areas, often connected by steps or retaining walls.
The technique prevents erosion on hillsides while maximizing usable garden space.
Terracing transforms steep terrain into a series of horizontal beds: The garden terraces cascaded down the hillside, each level planted with different herbs.
