Empty terraces used for storage are wasting precious space in cities. When we planted this native terrace, the client's boyfriend was skeptical about the whole endeavor. It was only 16 feet by 9 feet--how could we install everything we said we would--fountain, bat boxes, bird, butterfly, bee friendly plants, and have space for a little table and chairs. Subsequently, he had his coffee every morning, and beer at night in this terrace garden. As a cynical economist, he wasn't just won over, but also told his girlfriend that the installed terrace added about $10,000.00 worth of value to her apartment, as we essentially created an additional room.
