Hey there! A tiered garden is a fascinating landscaping concept that can transform your outdoor space. It involves constructing retaining walls to create two or more distinct levels or terraces within your garden.
These tiers can serve a multitude of purposes, such as planting different types of flowers, creating cozy seating areas, or even providing a perfect spot for a summer house. It offers a versatile space where you can relax, entertain guests, or simply enjoy the beauty of your garden in comfort.
It's a great way to make the most of your garden's potential and create a space where you can unwind and appreciate the wonders of nature.
A terraced garden is another more commonly used synonym for a tiered garden. Creating terraces on a hillside is initially more effort, but in the long run, it is the best way to maximize space and productivity on slope while also reducing the negative effects of erosion and run-off of rainfall and irrigation.
Note, the German word tiergarten does not refer to a tiered garden, but rather means 'animal garden', in other words, a zoo.
