Landscaping in BGC: What to Consider
Elevated Gardens
Many BGC landscapes are above ground — terraces, balconies, rooftops. These require lightweight growing systems, wind protection, drainage solutions, and plants selected for container life and exposure.
Modern Aesthetic
BGC’s architecture is contemporary. Landscape design should complement rather than contrast — clean lines, restrained palettes, architectural plants, and materials that suit modern buildings.
Urban Heat
Buildings create heat islands and reflected light that stress plants. Selection must prioritize toughness: heat-tolerant species, drought resistance, and ability to handle urban conditions.
Commercial Standards
Corporate and retail landscapes need to look professional year-round while withstanding heavy foot traffic. Design balances beauty with durability and maintenance efficiency.

The Urban Heat Reality
BGC’s modern infrastructure creates specific challenges:
- Heat island effects — urban density increases ambient temperature
- Reflected light from glass buildings stresses plants
- Wind tunnels between high-rise buildings
- Limited soil depth for terrace and rooftop gardens
Plant Selection Strategy
Urban conditions require tough plants that handle:
- Intense heat from surrounding buildings and pavement
- Limited root space in containers and planters
- Wind exposure on elevated terraces
- Reflected UV from glass facades
Best Planting Window
- Ideal timing: October-February — plants establish before summer heat
- Elevated gardens: Year-round installation possible with proper wind protection
