Food Farm Gardens

Understanding Our Terraced Garden Layout

The Community Gardens at Plantation Succour are uniquely designed to work with the natural hilly landscape of our heritage site. All plots are arranged in terraced formations that follow the natural contours of the land, creating a stunning stepped garden effect reminiscent of traditional Caribbean hillside farming.

What This Means for Your Plot:

  • Sloped terrain requires different planting and drainage considerations
  • Terraced design provides natural water flow and erosion control
  • Elevation differences create varied microclimates across the site
  • Hillside access may require walking on inclined pathways
  • Traditional Caribbean farming methods are perfectly suited to this landscape

 

Plot Selection Considerations:

  • Lower terraces: Easier access, more water collection, warmer microclimate
  • Higher terraces: Better drainage, cooler temperatures, panoramic views
  • Slope management: Built-in terracing reduces erosion and maximizes growing space
  • Accessibility: Consider your mobility needs when selecting plot location

This terraced approach not only honors the traditional farming methods used by our ancestors but also creates a sustainable growing environment that works with nature rather than against it.
