A tiered garden consists of one or more retaining walls which form two or more level areas.

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.

I have done it to a certain extent, but I put paths between the tiers; how the heck do you get to work on that? Lay a ladder across it?
