A small garden located on a roof, gallery, or special stone supports. It has a built-up soil layer for cultivating grasses, flowers, ornamental shrubs, and sometimes trees. Instead of a continuous soil layer, special portable containers for planting soil and small pools for aquatic plants are also used. The prototype of modern hanging gardens is the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis in ancient Babylon, which were situated on multi-tiered stone terraces. Hanging gardens are known from the Moscow Kremlin in the 17th century, on the terraces of the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo by the Cameron Gallery, and in the Winter Palace. The Old Russian synonym of the term is “Verkhovoy sad”.
