Local conditions
Planning for Bangalore's climate
Fig. 01Climate and soil
Bangalore is mild through the year with two monsoons and red soil. Almost every garden plant grows well here, and the city has a strong culture of terrace gardens and managed farmland.
Fig. 02When to plant and how to care
Planting works from June to November across both monsoons. From March to May, water more and mulch. Winter flowers do well from November.
Terrace Garden Design and Setup · Bangalore
Designing around the RWH line, not over it
A terrace garden built on a Bangalore home has to sit around the plot's rainwater harvesting setup, since BWSSB requires RWH on any new construction on a site of 30x40 feet or larger, and on existing homes on plots of 60x40 feet or larger. We check the harvesting pit, pipe and overflow before finalising the planter layout, not after.
Where a terrace already has a rainwater harvesting connection because the plot falls under BWSSB's rule, we route planters and drainage channels to keep that line accessible for servicing, since blocking it under a raised bed creates a problem the household discovers only when the pit needs cleaning.
For terraces on older homes below the size threshold, there is more freedom in the layout, though we still check waterproofing before any bed goes down.
A planting calendar for two rainy seasons
Bangalore's rain comes in two spells, the southwest monsoon from June to September and a shorter northeast monsoon in October and November, so terrace planting timed to the first monsoon gets a second push of growth later in the year that a single-monsoon city does not see.
BWSSB has also tied new water connections to the RWH requirement directly, lifting an earlier moratorium on new connections only for buildings that already have a harvesting system installed, which is one more reason a terrace garden's design should not compromise that system on a newly built home.
Load and waterproofing before the design
On an older independent house in a locality like Jayanagar or JP Nagar, the terrace slab was rarely designed for the load of soil-filled planters, so we check the structural load before finalising any layout, a step that matters less on a newer high-rise built to current codes but is never skipped on either.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does a terrace garden conflict with Bangalore's rainwater harvesting rule?
It can if the layout is not checked first; we design planters and drainage around the existing RWH pit and pipe so the harvesting system stays serviceable.
Is a Bangalore terrace garden usable through both monsoons?
Yes, with drainage sized for both the June-September and October-November rain spells, though the heaviest days in each spell are wetter than the rest of the year.
Can a new home get a water connection in Bangalore without rainwater harvesting?
BWSSB has tied new connections to having a working RWH system installed, so a terrace garden's layout on a new home is designed to keep that system intact rather than build over it.
Can an existing terrace garden be redesigned rather than built from scratch?
Yes, we survey what is already growing and what the waterproofing and drainage look like before proposing changes, so a redesign builds on the terrace's current state rather than clearing it entirely.
Do you provide terrace garden design and setup across Bangalore?
Yes. We work across Bengaluru, including Whitefield, Electronic City, Outer Ring Road, Manyata Tech Park, Koramangala and HSR Layout.
